About the
Course
The TESOL Internship option is available
to MS.Ed.TESOL students who have already completed at least 23 credits
of required course work. Those who choose the Internship will be
expected to perform 240 hours of teaching and related duties in an
authentic ESL or EFL setting, under the supervision of an experienced
teacher who is fully credentialed for that type of instructional
environment.
The site of the Internship, which must be approved by the TSOL 691
professor, can be selected from schools, community organizations, and
higher-education institutions. In addition, the Internship site must be
different from any of the ones selected for the student's Observations.
If the Intern is already an experienced ESL/EFL teacher, the Internship
site must be substantially different from the intern's prior teaching
environments. The student's own paid teaching
position is NOT an acceptable site.
The objectives of this course are:
- To give the Intern
“hands-on” experience with ESL or EFL classes.
- To provide the Intern
opportunities to take on the role of ESL/EFL teacher, under the
supervision and guidance of an experienced teacher.
- To enable the Intern to
evaluate TESOL theory in relation to practice.
