Program: License in English as a New Language
Department of English and Linguistics
Classroom-Medical Building 145 ~ 260-481-6841 ~ www.ipfw.edu/engl
The Department of English and Linguistics, in conjunction with the School of Education (SOE), offers an add-on license in teaching English as a New Language (ENL) to licensed teachers, candidates who are already licensed in specific content area(s) at specific grade levels, or prospective teachers who are in the process of obtaining such a license.
Our program features a structured and balanced curriculum, providing education graduates with solid theoretical foundation for second language teaching and learning as well as sound pedagogical training in developing approaches, skills and techniques to teach or work with English language learners in P-12 school settings. The curriculum prepares students as credentialed, knowledgeable professionals in teaching English as a new language.
