Adding ESL to Spanish???
by escalante
Jun 14, 2010
I'm a high school Spanish teacher. In order to make myself more marketable, I'm planning to take the courses to get an ESL endorsement. I want to know if any of you know teachers who teach both Spanish and ESL? Since I can only teach Spanish, would I be wasting my time and money getting the endorsement? Please help. Gracias!

escalante Thanks for your quick response. I'm in IL and you don't need any other requirements for the ESL. My fear is to go through the courses and then find out that principals will only hire ESL teachers who can also teach core subjects and not Spanish.

lynne/ca Maybe someone from IL will answer. I do know teachers here in California who teach Spanish and ESL, though.

CeliaB I have taught ESL in IL for the past 3 years. My suggestion to you would be to get the ESL endorsement but to also become certified as bilingual in Spanish. Depending on where in IL you live, that is a "hot" combination and would make you VERY marketable for teaching in a bilingual classroom. Good luck to you.
