Modern Languages
Dr. Lily Anne Goetz, Program Coordinator

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 may lead to the post-graduate professional license.
Students admitted to this program are expected to present an undergraduate
major in the language of the concentration. Students may select French,
German or Spanish as an 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 adviser 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 1-15
or July 15-30; 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.
