Touro TESOL Candidate, Nicolette Parisi’s Differentiated Lesson Plans

As a Professor for TESOL, I am immensely proud to feature outstanding student work from our MS in Teaching English to Speakers of Other Languages (TESOL) Program. New York’s linguistic diversity demands teachers who can find common ground and effectively communicate with students from different language backgrounds. Academically rigorous and practice-intensive, the 33-credit program includes 50 hours of fieldwork and supervised student teaching experiences. Candidates who complete all coursework, fieldwork, and student teaching requirements are eligible for recommendation for ESL certification.

Nicolette Parisi: ” I am currently pursuing a Master’s degree in TESOL at Touro University. This academic journey has been immensely enriching, offering me valuable insights and methodologies essential for excelling in the field of TESOL education. My focus is on integrating innovative teaching strategies and linguistic theories to enhance my future role as a TESOL educator.”

“Great teachers are the ones who inspire you.” By Martin Landau
My Professors have been nothing short of remarkable and have been extremely helpful in assisting me on this outstanding learning journey! Touro is an incredible choice if you want to feel supported with your learning and grow as an educator!
