Three years ago, Traneshia Stoudemire ('17, MA, EE) faced a teaching dilemma: a non-English-speaking student transferred to her fifth-grade classroom.
"I felt helpless in how to teach him. The experience was an eye-opener and made me yearn to gain insight on how to best teach English Language Learners (ELLs)," said Stoudemire, a graduate of The University of Alabama in Huntsville (UAH) College of Education. "I researched universities offering online courses for Teaching English as a Second Language (TESOL). UAH offered the program I was looking for. I chose the Differentiated Instruction in Elementary Education program with a concentration in TESOL."
