Teaching English to Speakers of Other Languages at Touro University
New York is a state that speaks many languages. We need teachers who can find the common ground. The MS in Teaching English to Speakers of Other Languages (TESOL) Program at Touro University helps NYS-certified PreK-12 teachers more effectively teach and communicate with a diverse student population.
I was particularly impressed and am delighted to share the work of Albania Ramos. Her attention to detail and thorough engagement with the course materials truly stood out to me. She effectively connected theoretical concepts with practical examples, showcasing deep understanding and critical thinking. It’s always rewarding to see such dedication and depth in a student’s work. Especially her Spanish-English worksheet shows her support for her bilingual students in this Differentiated Instructional Activity Assignment with a focus on assessment submission.
Albania Ramos, originally from the Dominican Republic, has dedicated her career to teaching English Language Learners after relocating to Long Island at a young age. With certifications in secondary education, English language arts, Spanish, bilingual education in place, she continues to work towards her English for New Learners. degree at Touro, Driven by her parents’ immigrant journey and inspired by her role as a mother, Albania is committed to creating an inclusive, supportive classroom that fosters academic growth, cultural appreciation, and social-emotional development for all her students.
