ESL Distance Courses |
In 1997, 618 (62%) of Washington State's schools enrolled language minority (LM) students.
Of those 618 schools, only 181 offered language support programs. The most recent statistics indicate
that LM students currently comprise 23% of all K-12 learners in the State and represent 96 language
groups. While the number and diversity of LM students has continued to grow, the number of mainstream
teachers trained to deal with the special needs and problems of non-native English speakers has not kept pace.
These courses can be used to fulfill the following needs:
- ESL Endorsement
- Master's program credit: Students who want to apply the credits from these courses to a master's program must be admitted to the Graduate School at the time of enrollment and have approval from their graduate program advisors or committee (students may not be able to apply courses taken without prior approval to a master's program).
- Professional Certification Program (PCP) credit: Students who want to receive PCP credit must have approval from their
PCP committee.
- Personal professional development: Students can take these courses for their own enrichment as a non-degree student without being associated with a specific program or degree.
