The Department of Modern and Classical Languages, in conjunction with the Department of Middle, Secondary, Reading, and Deaf Education, offers the Master of Education degree with a major in secondary education–teaching field Spanish. Students entering the program for this Master of Education degree have the necessary foundations in language, culture, literature, and professional education for advanced study. In their graduate work, the foreign language education (FLED) students take at least 20 hours of guided electives at the graduate level within the content area of Spanish. Following an integrated approach, these courses are designed to promote competencies in the areas of language, literature, and culture at the superior level of proficiency and to provide students with a focused and in-depth program of study. Students take a course dealing with second language acquisition, in order to further their knowledge in the areas of instructional and learning strategies and their application in foreign language teaching, and a core of professional education courses that address ideas, concepts, and trends associated with education and how these relate to educators. Finally, through a professional development seminar, students are required to perform self-assessment, determine areas of skill and knowledge in need of improvement, and design an effective career growth and development plan, as a preliminary step in expanding and modifying their personal teaching strategies.
