The 37-hour Master’s program is sequenced over one calendar year (Summer, Fall, Spring, Summer). The major offers two tracks: one in Foreign Language Education and one in English to Speakers of Other Languages (ESOL). Both tracks share a common core of courses.

The course of study consists of three general areas: Area I, core education requirements; Area II, pedagogy courses specific to the subject area; and, Area III, content-specific courses appropriate for each of the two tracks.

Area I (Core courses) are comprised of those courses required by the Florida DOE for initial teacher certification.

Area II courses consist of pedagogy courses specific to the subject area, including courses in Methods for Teaching Foreign and Second Languages, and a six-hour graduate internship in Foreign or Second Language Teaching.

Area III courses would differ according to the specific track chosen by the student.
Within the Foreign Language track students will take a course in Applied Linguistics (3 hours) plus 9 hours of graduate courses in the literature or culture of the language they plan to teach. These courses are offered in the Department of Modern Languages & Linguistics. The Department offers courses [prefix] in Arabic [FOL, FOW], Chinese [CHI], French [FRE, FRW, FRT], German [GER, GEW, GET], Italian [ITA, ITW], Japanese [JPN], Portuguese [POR, POW], Russian [RUS, RUW, RUT], and Spanish [SPN, SPW].

Within the English to Speakers of Other Languages track students would also take the Applied Linguistics class plus nine additional hours in the following second language teaching courses: Curriculum and Materials Design for Foreign and Second Language Teaching, Language Testing and Evaluation, and Sociolinguistics. These additional nine hours are offered in the School of Teacher Education.

Note: Nine hours of 5000-level language courses as defined by the ‘Graduate Courses’ header, ‘Language’ sub-header, ‘Literature in Translation’ sub-header, or ‘Literature (Writing)’ sub-header of the different offerings (French, Spanish, etc.) set forth in the Department of Modern Languages & Linguistics’ section of the Graduate Bulletin.
