Site Links Home Search for ERIC Digests Privacy Policy Resources for Library Instruction ... Information Literacy Blog ERIC Identifier: Publication Date: Author: Kreidler, Carol J. Source: ERIC Clearinghouse on Languages and Linguistics Washington DC. ESL Teacher Certification. ERIC Digest. English as a Second Language (ESL) teachers must have special preparation to teach English to non-native speakers; being a fluent speaker or an effective teacher of English to native speakers is not enough. Just as teaching mathematics or French requires special knowledge and skills, teaching English as a Second Language does also. This Digest outlines some of the relevant issues concerning ESL teacher certification: profiles of students needing ESL instruction, reasons for considering certification, academic preparation needed to teach ESL, and a description of state requirements for certification. WHO NEEDS AN ESL TEACHER? Estimates based on the 1980 Census indicate that in 1980-81 at least three-and-a-half million school-age children in the United States lacked the English language skills needed to succeed in school. These children, whose native language is not English, generally fall into two groups. The first, limited-English-proficient (LEP) students, speak, understand, and may read and write English, but not well enough to keep up academically with their native English-speaking peers. The second group, non-English-speaking (NES) students, do not speak or understand English and may have no literacy skills in their native language. This factor complicates attempts to teach them English.

OLR BILL ANALYSIS SB 536 (File 145, as amended by Senate "A")* AN ACT CONCERNING NATIONAL BOARD CERTIFICATION SUMMARY This bill requires the State Board of Education (SBE) to issue a Connecticut provisional or professional educator certificate with an appropriate endorsement to nationally board certified teachers from out of state who meet certain conditions. (An endorsement specifies the subject or grade level that a certified teacher can teach. ) Under current law, to receive a regular Connecticut teaching certificate an out-of-state teacher must meet all the requirements for Connecticut certification and pass Connecticut's teacher certification exams. The bill requires SBE to issue a Connecticut provisional or professional certificate to any teacher from another state, U. S. possession or territory, the District of Columbia, or Puerto Rico who (1) applies; (2) holds a national board certification from an organization the education commissioner considers appropriate; and (3) has taught for at least three of the past 10 years in another state, U. S. possession or territory, the District of Columbia, or Puerto Rico. Under the bill, such a teacher must receive a provisional educator certificate, which is Connecticut's second highest level of teaching certificate, unless he has completed 30 credits of qualifying coursework beyond a bachelor's degree. If he has the 30 credits, the bill requires SBE to give him a professional educator certificate (Connecticut's highest level teacher certificate).
