Continuing Teacher Leader Effectiveness (CTLE) Overview Presentation
January 13, 2026Monday, January 26th at 6 pm
Stony Brook University is hosting an informational meeting on Monday, January 26th at 6:00 pm to discuss a possible TESOL Cohort. REGISTER HERE TO ATTEND
Stony Brook University’s Department of Linguistics and its School of Professional Development have partnered to offer a five-course post graduate program that allows content area teachers to be eligible to teach English Language Learners (ELLs). This program will allow teachers to apply for the Supplementary Certificate in English to Speakers of Other Languages (ESOL) through individual alternative pathways.
Stony Brook is a leader in ESOL education. New York State Education Department (NYSED) has pre-approved our courses, and the University is committed to responding to any changes to requirements made by NYSED as quickly as reasonably possible.
The Program curriculum consists of five courses:
LIN 502 Methods I: Foundation of ESOL Pedagogy
LIN 503 Methods II: Language and Literacy through Content Areas
LIN 504 Introduction to Teaching Linguistic and Literacy Skills to English Language Learners
LIN 505 Structure of English Grammar for Teachers
LIN 544 Literacy in the Content Areas
You will receive an email from Stony Brook University with the Zoom link to join the meeting.
