Earn your advanced-certificate degree online
You will earn the same diploma as our on-campus students
As more children who speak languages other than English enroll in schools, the demand for ENL(English as a New Language) teachers is growing. SUNY Fredonia’s degree program offers you the opportunity to engage in the latest research-based teaching theories and methods, grounded in cultural and linguistic contexts, so you can become a successful, strong teacher informed in best practices for working with this special group of students. This eighteen (18) credit hour program called AC: TESOL leads to a recommendation for a New York State (NYS) Certification in ESOL. There is a NYS requirement for twelve (12) credit hours of Language Other Than English (LOTE) in addition to the 18 main program of study credits. Previous language courses/experiences can count toward the LOTE requirement. Conditional acceptance is often granted before LOTE is fulfilled.
