TSL-505 equips students with the skills necessary to make informed decisions when designing and implementing English as a second or other language (ESOL) curriculum. The course extends beyond individual lesson-level teaching methods (covered in TSL-504) into the broader, genuine work of designing coherent curriculum across an entire ESOL program or course sequence.
Curriculum design as a genuinely distinct, broader competency
The course treats curriculum design as a genuinely distinct competency from individual lesson planning — requiring coherent sequencing and structure across an entire program, not just single-lesson effectiveness.
Informed decision-making, not a fixed curriculum template
TSL-505 explicitly builds skills for making informed decisions in curriculum design, recognizing that no single fixed curriculum template works universally, and genuine curriculum design requires context-specific judgment.
Key topics in TSL505

Frequently asked questions
Designing effective individual lessons using specific teaching methods is a genuinely different skill from designing a coherent curriculum that sequences content, skills, and assessment appropriately across an entire ESOL program or course sequence — a collection of individually excellent lessons doesn't automatically add up to a well-structured program. TSL-505 treats curriculum design as distinct because this broader, program-level competency requires genuinely different skills than lesson-level teaching method application.
No single curriculum template works universally well across the genuinely diverse contexts ESOL instructors encounter — different student populations, institutional settings, and learning goals require different curricular approaches — meaning teaching a fixed template would leave students unprepared for contexts where that template doesn't fit. TSL-505 builds decision-making skill because genuine curriculum design competency requires this contextual judgment, not memorization of one universal curriculum design.
