About the English as a Second Language Concentration

The English as a Second Language (ESL) Concentration at ºÚÁÏÍø exposes students to issues surrounding those acquiring English proficiency as second-language learners, both at home in the U.S. and throughout the world. The curriculum also supports learning foreign languages such as Spanish, French and German.

For those looking for a more in-depth study of English language acquisition, SU also offers a major in ESOL (English to Speakers of Other Languages) designed to prepare educators in instructional and leadership roles in K-12 school settings. We also offer a minor in ESOL for those looking to pair their interest in language with another major.
