Curriculum & Instruction Specialist - Modern Languages |
The Modern Languages Curriculum and Instruction Specialist concentration is designed for the classroom teacher who wants to improve instructional skills as well as expand knowledge and skills in the language of concentration. Completion of this program meets current eligibility requirements for the postgraduate professional license.
Students admitted to this program are expected to present an undergraduate major in the language of the concentration and a valid Collegiate Professional License or equivalent from another state. Students may select French, German or Spanish as the area of concentration. Note that courses with a FREN, GERM or SPAN prefix are usually offered during summer institutes for teachers. Students should work closely with their advisor to determine their course of study.
SUMMER INSTITUTES FOR TEACHERS
Graduate courses in Spanish are offered during the Summer Institute for Spanish Teachers in Mérida, Venezuela, and in Valencia, Spain, and change each year. Approximate dates each year are from July 5th thru 30th; the application deadline is May 1. Students may take two graduate Spanish courses and receive six credits while living with host families and sharing three meals per day with them. The program is very intensive; besides attending classes each day, students participate in visits to sites of cultural or historic significance and in social activities with the families and instructors.
Summer Institutes for French or German Teachers are occasionally offered; students interested in any of the Institutes should contact Dr. Goetz for information or visit the following web site: http://www.longwood.edu/modernlanguages/Institutes.htm.
