The More You Learn, the More Your Students Learn Want to know our learning objectives? Here are the big ideas you will learn as a student in the Master of Education in English as a Second Language and Bilingual Education program.

Engage With Your Students Learn how to meet the unique needs of English language learners, from introducing them to a new culture, finding common ground with other students, and making them feel at home, to teaching specific language and vocabulary skills to help them master a new language as they learn new academic content. Helping your ESL students draw from their breadth of cultural experiences can be very rewarding for both you and for all of the students at your school.

Differentiate Your Curriculum English language learners begin their studies at different stages of language development, and some have gaps in their education depending upon their ages and countries of origin. Learn how to meet students where they are and tailor your curriculum to meet their language learning needs and teach them academic content that mainstream English-speaking students are mastering.

Be a Lifelong Learner As you connect with your students, you will discover students and their families will look to you as an ally as they join a new culture. Learn how to become an effective resource for your students and their families, and continue your own learning about language development and culture.
