Overview

The master of arts in Teaching English to Speakers of Other Languages at Salem State University is designed to prepare students to teach English language learners in a variety of settings combining theory and practice. This program is taught by faculty members who are leaders in the field.

Those students who wish to pursue a teaching license in Massachusetts can pursue the 36-credit licensure track that includes a supervised student teaching practicum. Coursework meets the licensure standards of the Massachusetts DESE and those of CAEP/TESOL which includes 75 hours of pre-practicum experiences and a 300-hour practicum. A half-practicum is available for those who already have an initial license to teach in Massachusetts.

The master of arts in Teaching English to Speakers of Other Languages licensure program leads to Commonwealth of Massachusetts initial licensure to teach English as a second language in grades PK- 12. After a student’s pre-practicum experiences, he or she may choose to be licensed in grades PK-6 or 5-12. The student will then be placed for his or her practicum or student teaching experience in the grade level of choice.
