Teaching Track

31 semester hours

French majors interested in obtaining licensure to teach in elementary and/or secondary schools must successfully complete the requirements for a major in French in the teaching track and must be admitted to the College of Education's Foreign Language Teacher Education Program (TEP). Several courses in the College of Education are required, as is one semester of student teaching. Contact the Department of Teaching and Learning for details.

Requirements for the teaching track include the following seven courses (21 s.h.) in addition to the 10 s.h. of foundation course work in French:

Four courses in French literature and culture
Three courses in French language, pedagogy, or literature and culture
Only one of these courses may be taught in English under the French department prefix (009). This restriction does not apply to courses taught in English with an additional semester hour in French. At least two courses must be numbered above 009:150.

Students who plan to use a French minor to teach at the elementary and/or secondary level must contact the College of Education concerning requirements.
