TESOL Tuesday Advising: 1235 Centennial (ESL Lab); April 3, 10 & 17: 10:30 a.m. – 12:30 p.m.

Core Courses: 19 credits
The following core courses are offered during the fall 2012 semester: ENG 432, TSL 350 as a substitution for ENG 334, ENG
334, TSL 400, and TSL 450.
ENG 332 Modern English Grammars (3 credits)
The English Department usually offers ENG 332 in both fall and spring semesters. Register for this course as early as you can because it tends to fill quickly. Plan to take this course before you take ENG 432 Introduction to Linguistics.
Prerequisite: one 200-level ENG course for 3 credits.
TSL 350 as a substitution for ENG 334 (3 credits)
The English Department usually offers ENG 334 in both fall and spring semesters. This course has a three-credit 200-level
ENG course as a prerequisite. In fall 2012, you may take TSL 350 as a substitution for ENG 334. (The schedule was changed online at 4:30 p.m. on April 13.)
ENG 432 Introduction to Linguistics (3 credits)
ENG 432 is regularly offered during spring semesters and occasionally during fall semesters. The prerequisite for the course is ENG 332 or the completion of a 202-level foreign language class. Even if you have completed a 202-level foreign language course, however, we recommend that you complete ENG 332 before ENG 432.
TSL 400 Program Models for Second Language Acquisition (3 credits)
TSL 400 is offered in both fall and spring semesters. The prerequisite is admission to teacher education or completion of the
INS 250/251/252 study abroad series or one course from the following: ANT 350; CST 332; EDS 308, 312, 412; ENG 332,

Janis Hanson will give you an override for TSL 400 during a TESOL Tuesday advising session if you have completed one of the prerequisites (listed above) and have been unable to register for TSL 400 online.
TSL 450 TESOL Internship (4 credits for the minor, 1 – 4 credits/semester) o Prerequisites: ENG 110 & CST 110.
o You may take 1 – 4 internships credits per semester. One credit represents 35 – 40 hours/semester. The majority of
TESOL minors work at the UW-L ESL Institute for two or three semesters to complete the four internship credits. o For two of the four internship credits, you are required to work with a designated ESL class during a fall or spring semester . In the fall 2012 semester, there are two options for you to complete this requirement:

You assist Janis Hanson in the ESL 150-level labs that meet 8:50 – 9:45 a.m., Monday – Thursday. You will schedule one additional office hour per week.

You assist Scott Reber in the ESL U.S. Culture class that meets Tuesday/Thursday, 2:15 – 3:40 p.m. The ESL
Institute will schedule two additional hours of service for you each week. o You have a variety of options for the additional two TSL 450 credits required for the minor. The TESOL program organizes one and two-credit internships at the UWL ESL Institute. TESOL students have also found opportunities to earn internship credit through work and volunteer activities. o Additional information about TSL 450 and the application for fall 2012 internships are available on the TESOL advising page online. For all fall 2012 TESOL Internships, you will need to submit an application by April 22 . You need to register for fall courses before you apply for an internship inasmuch as your academic schedule will determine your availability for specific internship placements.
