Don't Forget Who Your Friends Are! A Foreign Language Teacher's View of Teacher Certification Standards for ESL/Bilingual Education.
Sherlock, Wallace
Mid-Western Educational Researcher, v14 n4 p9-12 Fall 2001
The Wisconsin Department of Public Instruction proposes to eliminate "stand-alone" teacher certification in bilingual education (BE) or English as a second language (ESL), creating an ESL/BE license to be added to an elementary or secondary license. The proposal promotes ESL/BE licensure of subject area teachers but ignores foreign language teachers, who frequently provide much-needed BE support in understaffed schools. (SV)
