The Department of English works closely with the School of Education to ensure that English majors who wish to teach high-school English are well prepared to do so and proceed smoothly towards both their degree in English and certification as teachers.
You have been redirected here because the Teacher Portfolio website is no longer available. You can find free teaching resources and get support to develop yourself as a teacher in the Teaching English section of our website. ESL (English as a Second Language) students who reach an intermediate level of English don’t need endless drills in grammar or tedious vocabulary lists; they need to learn how to make their English sound natural. Welcome to the English Department. In English we love exploring how writers use language to create an impact on readers. We do this by examining and reading a range of different texts, from poetry, to novels to a range of fiction and nonfiction texts from different times and places. This assessment required me to create a portfolio of 18 teaching strategies, addressing reading, writing and oral language skills (Years One, Two and Three). Each teaching strategy included descriptions, resources and procedures along with explicit links to the Australian Curriculum – English, MSV cueing systems and processing strategies.
Regardless of the year in which they arrived at Loyola, students seeking certification must take all requirements for the Major. In addition, use two of their electives to take English 303 (a grammar course designed primarily for prospective teachers) and English 396 (the methods course for high-school teachers of English), which is cross-listed with CIEP M61 in the School of Education. English-education majors are also required to take Adolescent Literature (CIEP 350) in the School of Education.
In addition to their English major, students interested in teaching high school English must apply to the School of Education BSED in Secondary Education. Students are considered Dual-Degree Students and will earn both a BA and a BSED. Students planning to teach should see Mr. Blake Chambliss in the School of Education their freshman year to ensure that they fulfill all of the requirements for the degree, major and Illinois licensure.
The assistant director of undergraduate programs for teacher preparation in the Department of English, Ms. Amy Kessel, serves as liaison with the School of Education and advises English-education majors as they fulfill the requirements of both their major in English and their major in secondary education.
