Language Pedagogy Track

Overview:
 

In this track you will acquire the theoretical and practical foundations of foreign-language teaching. Our innovative pedagogy program offers students the opportunity to learn about curricular design, creation of teaching materials, methods of bilingual education, and multicultural classroom instruction. The broader perspective gleaned from courses in other disciplines will provide students with a more contextualized knowledge of pedagogy and second-language acquisition. Our campus offers numerous opportunities for students to develop their pedagogy skills: the Anderson Language and Technology Center, the Center for Teaching and Learning, and the Lead Graduate Student training program, among many others.
