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.
