Can I teach ESL classes with a major/minor in linguistics
By:answers.yahoo.com
I have a BA in Spanish and Masters in Education. I am interested in going back to school and obtaining an ESL license. I am working full time as a teacher and won't have time to do the necessary student teaching practicum in an ESL classroom and am looking alternate routes to be able to teach ESL. I found (at the school Im interested in applying to) a Linguistics minor which does include some ESL classes but looks as though I wouldn't have to do student teaching with that. Can anyone tell me if I would be able to teach in an ESL classroom with just a linguistics major/minor? Or, do I really need to have the ESL classes and practicum to be hired.
