The SLS BA Committe is currently investigating the possibility of adding the following two minors to our undergraduate program.
==============================================================
Minor in Language Teaching
The Minor in Language Teaching would provide instruction in fundamental concepts related to second language learning and teaching. It would consist of 18 credits in total: 9 credits of core courses and 9 credits of electives.
Upon completing the minor, students would be able to:
- Demonstrate a general understanding of the field of second language studies
- Plan and effectively deliver lessons
- Reflect on and evaluate their teaching practices
- Support students’ development of oral language and literacies
- Assess and evaluate student learning
