This program provides you with the knowledge and skills you'll need to add ESL/ENL to your initial teaching license. The license addition will grant you opportunities to effectively serve English learners in the grade levels for which your original teaching license covers.
You will take a series of five classes (15 credit hours) in sequential order and complete a specialized student teaching assignment. Classes are offered one night a week in the fall and spring and are available at variable times in the summer.
If you have already earned a bachelor's degree and are licensed to teach in the state of Indiana, you are eligible for our graduate-level dual licensure programs in ENL/ESL.
Language Education Master's degree | ENL Licensure
You can choose either to seek your license as part of the Language Education master's program or simply seek certification without the addition of a graduate-level degree. Whichever route you choose, you will take the same 21 credit group of ENL/ESL classes. The license addition will grant you opportunities to effectively serve English learners in the grade levels for which your original teaching license covers.
Program of Study
These classes are offered on a non-traditional 12 week and summer intensive schedule to allow working professionals to complete them within 16 months. However, you can also complete the program using the traditional 15-week semester calendar.
If you are enrolled in the ATAC/DBAC program, or have completed the ATAC/DBAC program, please view the advising sheets for information about the plan of study.Note: The licensure addition in ENL will be applied to the grade level of your initial license.
