Most student teachers will teach conversational and written English, but they may also teach specific subjects using English as the medium of instruction. Further, it may be possible to fulfill practicum requirements in Norway for the ESL /ENL license addition.
Proficiency in Norwegian is not required, but participants are encouraged to learn the basic words and phrases before they leave for their placement. Participation is not limited to students pursuing ESL/ENL certification.
