Online ESOL Endorsement Specialization Courses for Inservice/ Preservice Teachers:
If you are a teacher, or preparing to become a teacher, and seeking the ESOL Endorsement, here is an opportunity for you to take the courses that lead to the ESOL Endorsement, and at the same time receive a Graduate Certificate in ESOL and/or credit toward a Master's Degree. The Dept. of Secondary Education’s Foreign Language Education Program at the University of South Florida is now offering these five ESOL courses totally online on a rotating basis during the academic year.
What is the ESOL Endorsement?
Primary Language Arts/English Teachers in the State of Florida are required by law to complete a total of 15 semester hours or 300 in-service credit points in courses related to learning how to help English Language Learners in the mainstream classroom. The five ESOL courses below are recognized by the State of Florida Department of Education (FLDOE) and lead toward meeting that requirement. Upon completing these courses, you may then apply to the Florida Department of Education for the ESOL Endorsement.
