Hello,
Would a master’s degree in English Language Development (ELD) and English to Speakers of Other Languages (ESOL) be beneficial? Is it possible to major in two concentrations? I am interested in teaching English to learners whose native language is not English and to increase student learning for low language native English speakers. Thank you.
Eugene, Yes, you may achieve a dual concentration. The 5 core courses are the same. If you complete ESOL first, then you will only have 4 additional courses to complete to achieve a dual concentration! You would have a Master of Education with a dual concentration. Thank you.
