The number of students who are not native English speakers has been rapidly increasing in public and private schools in the United States. This steadily diversifying population poses the most vital educational challenge of the decade. Teachers, as well as parents, demand courses that bring sensitive knowledge along with effective approaches and strategies to the classroom.

Today's teachers need to know how to communicate and promote intercultural respect and understanding of information, skills, and values to a child or to an adult who not only does not understand English, but who also has a different cultural frame of reference. The ESL/Bilingual Education concentration at National-Louis University focuses on the educational needs of teachers and the students they serve.
