Licensure in English as a New Language (= Licensure in English as a Second Language) (15-hour Minor in ENL)

Licensure in Teaching English as a New Language may be added to any instructional license by completing the requirements for the department's 15-hour Minor in English as a New Language.  That is, this minor fulfills requirements for Indiana licensure in combination with an approved teacher education major program.  It is also appropriate for teaching English as a second language/English as a foreign language in a non-licensure setting.

Required courses: Linguistics 210--3 hrs.; 311--3 hrs.; 316--3 hrs.; 413 or 415--3 hrs.; 420--3 hrs.
