Program Description:
The programs
are committed to the preparation of professional educators whose expertise provides
broad and rich support to the education of students from language backgrounds
other than English. The program faculty recognizes the tremendous diversity of
languages, cultures, learning styles and preferences and forms of knowledge which
English Language Learners bring to their educational experiences, and celebrates
that diversity as a resource to all learners. While the primary responsibility
of the ESOL educator is to help students achieve full proficiency in English,
the Nazareth TESOL programs also strive to prepare ESOL educators who:
- develop deep understanding of their students, and combine
this understanding with knowledge about language and about first and second language
acquisition;
- design and implement learning experiences
which promote both the development of English language proficiency and mastery
of the concepts and skills necessary for academic success and the fulfillment
of personal potential;
- address not only language, but
also the academic and socio-cultural and self-advocacy needs of diverse English
Language Learners.
To accomplish these goals,
ESOL educators must be grounded in a broad knowledge of the curriculum, and must
especially attend to the development of literacy. Learners from language backgrounds
other than English use their knowledge of their first language to achieve proficiency
in additional languages; therefore ESOL educators must be prepared to assist students
in exploring the connections between their native language and literacy and English.
