Course Overview

The English Language Learning Program is offered by Lipscomb’s College of Education which is consistently ranked as one of the most effective educator preparation programs in the state of Tennessee and the nation.

As a teacher, you want to provide an optimal learning environment for every student to succeed. We know that environment looks different for different learner groups. Equip yourself with the necessary strategies to effectively meet the needs of English Language Learners.

Diversity in the classroom is something to be acknowledged and celebrated. That’s why our program prepares you to intentionally differentiate teaching practice to specially serve students from all linguistic and cultural backgrounds. Learn research-based instructional practices to implement in your class.

Our courses are carefully crafted to teach the praxis components and simultaneously lead to improved teaching practice for multilingual learners. You’ll get a chance to research an individualized topic in each of the four endorsement classes.
