World Language (PK - Grade 12) Subsequent Endorsement

A World Language subsequent endorsement requires the completion of 18 credit hours of content area coursework and passing the corresponding World Language content test. 

The World Language content test may be waived if you hold an Illinois State or Global Seal of Biliteracy in the language of the endorsement you are seeking.

Additional World Language endorsements require only passing the content test (or the Seal of Biliteracy in that language), as long as the requirements for one World Language endorsement have already been met.

NOTE: The World Language: American Sign Language (ASL) subsequent endorsement requires the completion of a specific distribution of coursework. Please contact the Council on Teacher Education with any questions related to the ASL subsequent endorsement.
