EDCI: The Second Language Education Program
The Second Language Education Program is an innovative, vibrant and growing unit at the University of Maryland. Housed in the Department of Curriculum and Instruction (EDCI) in the College of Education, this program contains both Teaching English to Speakers of Other Languages (TESOL) and Foreign Language Education (FLEd.). The Second Language Education Program powerfully combines theory, research, and practice.
A unique feature of the program is the variety of ways in which Second Language Education components are combined in preparing students to adapt methods, materials, and curricula to a variety of culturally and linguistically diverse settings in the United States and abroad. The program's options are fully accredited by the National Council for the Accreditation of Teacher Education (NCATE) and the Maryland State Department of Education (MSDE).
