The Minor in Teaching English to Speakers of Other Languages, which is administered by the Department of Linguistics, Languages and Cultures, provides students with the skills necessary to construct learning activities, select and evaluate English teaching.
The minor is available as an elective to students who are enrolled in bachelor’s degree programs at Michigan State University except for students in the College of Education. With the approval of the department and college that administers the student’s degree program, the courses that are used to satisfy the minor may also be used to satisfy the requirements for the bachelor’s degree.
Students who plan to complete the requirements for the minor should consult an undergraduate advisor in the Department of Linguistics, Languages and Cultures.
