Program in Bilingual Education and
English as a Second Language

In order to effectively instruct today's youth, our country's educators must not only be academically prepared to teach in the content areas but also be equipped to respond to the sociocultural, cognitive, and linguistic needs of diverse students. To respond to this challenge, the Department of Teaching and Learning at Washington State University, in cooperation with the Departments of Anthropology, English, and Comparative American Cultures, offers 18 hour undergraduate and graduate teacher education programs leading to K-12 endorsements in the teaching of Bilingual Education or English as a Second Language.
