TESL Add-On Licensure Courses
An essential aspect of the program is the opportunity to engage in field-based experiences in a variety of settings. There are three courses in the TESL program that require a field experience. The Office of ProfessionaSWl Experiences will work with you to arrange a set of diverse and enriching field experiences. We engage students in classrooms across our Professional Development System http://www.uncw.edu/ed/pds/partners/schools.html but realize that prospective TESL add-on licensure students may also have placement considerations due to location and employment. For questions about field experience placements, please contact Dr. N. Eleni Pappamihiel.
