Connect with different students, become a better educator
Are you passionate about helping diverse students transition and succeed in the classroom? Are you eager to help children of all backgrounds communicate effectively? If you're already a licensed teacher and are ready to enhance your offering and meaningfully impact the lives of students, the masters in ESL is the degree you have been looking for.
For millions of preK-12 students in America, English is not the language they speak when at home with their families. Because of this, they may struggle with language barriers at school, making it more difficult to comprehend what’s being taught in the classroom.
If you are interested in finding ways to better communicate with these students and helping them learn, a masters degree in ESL/ELL (Linguistically Diverse Education) could be the perfect fit for you. This degree can be instrumental in helping you forge better connections with students from diverse backgrounds, become a better educator, and change your classroom and the greater community for the better. You'll graduate from this masters program with ESL/ELL knowledge, improved teaching skills, enhanced understanding of varied cultural backgrounds, and practical field experience you'll need to become a more valuable educator, ready to pursue ESL or ELL certification.
