JBU’s English education program combines the rigor of the education program with the breadth of the English curriculum. JBU not only develops students into great teachers but also into experts in their field of study.
JBU is accredited so that students can transfer their teaching license easily across states and internationally.
Students will have many resources to learn both English and how to educate their future students, and they will also be given multiple opportunities and an internship that will allow them to practice teaching in the classroom.
Students spend a lot of time in clinical-style education with mentor teachers. Through observing and teaching alongside these experts, JBU students become confident in their capabilities in areas such as classroom management and lesson planning.
From the very first semester, students get to have an in-classroom experience. JBU students get the chance to practice teaching for more time than most students in other English education programs. This creates great confidence, trust and respect in the student's mentor teachers, as well as future employers.
