GENERAL PROGRAM DESCRIPTION The Department of Languages, Literatures, and Linguistics offers two options for completion of the master of arts degree: the single language [Spanish] option and the in linguistics/teaching English as a second language/cross-linguistics option. The department also offers a 12 semester hour graduate certificate in teaching English as a second language/teaching English as a foreign language. This is not a degree program, nor does it confer an Indiana teaching license on its recipients. Certificate (in TEFL or TESL) is an internationally recognized term, and many employers in other countries require a certificate of teachers who don’t hold a master’s degree. In conjunction with the College of Education, the Transition to Teaching Program offers graduate students the opportunity to obtain initial teacher licensure at the post-baccalaureate level. The Department of Languages, Literatures, and Linguistics and the College of Education cooperate to offer a doctorate in curriculum and instruction with a specialization in language education for students specializing in the research and practice of second language teaching and teacher education. MAIN OBJECTIVES The curriculum of the single language option is designed to enhance the written skills and spoken fluency of French or Spanish as a necessary instrument in modern communication, to acquaint students more thoroughly with the cultural background and the literature of these languages, and to guide them in the critical analysis of texts. The curriculum of the linguistics/teaching English as a second language/cross-linguistics option is designed to allow students to create a program of course work with a linguistic focus such as TESL or work in a combination of languages and linguistics. As such, it acquaints students with the theoretical and methodological approaches to these disciplines.

Certificate in TESL/TEFL
