The Department of Multicultural Education is an academic department that prepares teachers for careers in bilingual, multicultural settings. Multicultural education recognizes and supports different perceptions of the universe as equally valid; enables teachers to clarify their values and perceive their attitudes and stereotypes about other groups of people; and develops respect for linguistic and cultural differences. Note: New students should call the department for an appointment for advisement.

LANGUAGE PROFICIENCY
It is a New Jersey State requirement that all candidates seeking TESL certification must be tested in oral and written English language proficiency. Candidates seeking bilingual endorsement must be tested in oral and written English language proficiency, and in oral/ written second language proficiency. Tests are given by the American Council of Teachers of Foreign Languages (ACTFL). The Department requires you to take the oral tests during your first semester of study in Multicultural Education; you should take the written tests by the end of your second semester. ACTFL Language Proficiency Assessment Tests for ESL and Bilingual Certification are arranged by the Department of Multicultural Education. Oral Proficiency Interview and Writing Proficiency Tests, in English and in the student's native language, are conducted weekly and application forms can be obtained from the Department of Multicultural Education, Education and Professional Studies Building, Room 209 (201-200-3380).
