THE ENGLISH LANGUAGE LEARNING (ELL) PROGRAM IS A KEY PART OF THE LITERACY AND LANGUAGE (L&L) PROGRAM at Purdue. The ELL program offers licensure options at the undergraduate level for pre-service teachers and at the graduate level for in-service teachers, and offers graduate certificates in Teaching English Language Learners and in Dual Language Bilingual Education. Program faculty also teach and advise Language and Literacy masters and PhD students. These programs offer prospective researchers/scholars and K-12 teachers the opportunity to investigate contemporary issues in research and theory as well as pedagogical methods related to literacy and language teaching, learning, assessment, and curriculum. The L&L faculty have established national and international reputations as scholars, obtaining competitive funding to support teacher licensure and research. We seek a tenure-track assistant professor to primarily focus on teaching in and further developing our teacher education innovation initiative (I2), which includes a newly developed dual licensure program leading to a generalist teaching credential and an ELL teaching license.
