MFL-398 Practicum in FL/ESL/Bilingual Education
This practicum extends pre-service teachers'
cultural sensitivity, theoretical knowledge of
second language acquisition, and skills in ESL
and bilingual methods through a professional
experience with culturally/linguistically diverse
students in a local school setting. The course is
a collaborative venture among the college
student, a bilingual or ESL teacher, and a
college instructor. For each credit earned,
participants spend 25 hours with elementary,
middle school, or high school student(s) in local
schools in addition to 20 hours involved in
academic reading, writing, and seminar
discussions. This field experience fulfills a
requirement for the ENL (English as a New
Language) and Bilingual Education endorsements
for teacher certification in the state of Idaho.
Students must complete an application packet
prior to placement in a school. (Cross-listed as
EDU-398.) Prerequisite: Instructor permission
