Re: where to learn
Posted by J. on 4/30/08
Dear T.,
I would want to be certified for work at the middle or high school
level. I'm a little concerned by the ELL/ESL difference. Is
there an ESL MTEL? Will the ultimate license be for ELL or ESL?
I live in southeastern MA, so I'll check out UMA-Boston, as well.
I'll also see what Bridgewater, Framingham State and Salem State
have online. Thanks for your ideas.
