Practice Teaching in a Language Other Than English

Supervised practice teaching in a language other than English of which the student is a native or near-native speaker. Students observe and assist their mentor teacher and, when ready, assume solo responsibility for planning and teaching several lessons. They meet in periodic seminars, document their work in a personal log, and reflect on their growing professionalism in a virtual learning community. The course should be taken in the student's final semester of study unless approved by the TESOL Practicum Coordinator. AL 4970 does not substitute for AL 4960.
