TESOL PORTFOLIO
TESOL 699

About the Portfolio

MS.Ed.TESOL students may register for Portfolio only after at least 23 credits of required course work have been completed. Those who choose Portfolio will be expected to produce several pieces of original work that are of sufficient quality and significance to be publishable (perhaps with some editorial revision and polishing). The exact number, size, and nature of the Portfolio pieces will be determined in consultation with the TESOL faculty.

Portfolio Requirements
Portfolio pieces may take the form of...

research papers
an extensive annotated bibliography
syllabi, lesson plans, & teaching materials
English language tests
curriculum designs
integrative essays
media materials

NOTE#1: Papers should be 15-20 pages in length.

NOTE#2: An Annotated Bibliography should include at least 20 sources. Abstracts may not be used as sources.

Scholarship

Regardless of what other use you might be planning for the Portfolio, the submission of it as partial fulfillment for the M.S.Ed. TESOL degree requires it to be a scholarly document. As such, if you quote from any source or use any material that is not your own, these should be properly credited -- with both in-text citation and full-info references at the end of each section or (if appropriate) at the end of the Portfolio.

Evaluation

An oral presentation of the Portfolio to the TESOL faculty is also required. The date and time for this will be arranged near the completion of the project.
