Touro University TESOL Candidate Carly Croteau’s Text Analysis in EDDN 637

As an Associate Professor for the Touro University TESOL/BLE Department, 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 leads candidates who complete all coursework, and fieldwork to recommendation for ESL certification.

Carly Croteau: She graduated from SUNY New Paltz in 2021, earning a Bachelor of Science Degree in Early Childhood and Childhood Education, with a concentration in Spanish and a minor in Deaf Studies. Throughout her tenure at SUNY New Paltz, she was a four-year varsity student-athlete, playing for the field hockey team and serving as a three-year captain for the program. She began teaching fourth grade in September of 2022 and started pursuing her Master of Science Degree in Teaching English to Speakers of Other Languages (TESOL). Her Touro University journey quote is “I’ve learned that people will forget what you said, people will forget what you did, but people will never forget how you made them feel.”— Maya Angelou
