Modern Foreign Language Education - Boston University

Modern Foreign Language Education from Boston University is a Campus Master Teaching degree that prepares you for a Education career. The Modern Foreign Language Education Program prepares teachers of French, Spanish, German, Italian, and Russian to teach in grades Pre-K-9 or 5-12. (Prospective teachers of other languages who are already fluent in the language and do not need to meet certification requirements may enroll in the EdM program.) The program offers two master's degrees and one degree at the undergraduate level. Graduate students choose either the MAT or the EdM program. The MAT program is designed for candidates with undergraduate degrees in a modern foreign language , but no education courses. In addition to four courses in the Department of Modern Foreign Languages and Literatures, students complete basic courses in educational theory and modern foreign language methodology. Upon completion of the program and Massachusetts testing requirements, students may be certified at the advanced provisional or standard level to teach the language in which they majored to children in grades Pre-K-9 or 5-12. The EdM program in modern foreign language education is designed for candidates who are already certified to teach a modern foreign language or do not wish to be certified, and who want to increase their knowledge of language and culture and improve their language teaching abilities. These students take courses in linguistic theory, language acquisition, literacy development, culture, and methodology. Electives may include modern foreign language courses.
