Note: To receive an IL state endorsement in ESL and/or bilingual education, students are required by the state of Illinois to complete 100 field experience hours observing or working (for no pay) with PK-12 students under the supervision of licensed and endorsed teachers. For those who have been teaching in an ESL/bilingual education classroom for more than three months, this requirement does not apply. However, these students are required to provide ISBE a letter, on official letter-head, documenting their employment with ELLs. For those who have been teaching in an ESL/bilingual education classroom for more than three months, six BBE courses require a total of 30 field experience hours (required to earn the degree), and no more hours are required. Students who have not been teaching in an ESL/bilingual education classroom for more than three months must complete six BBE courses requiring a total of 100 field experience hours.
