General Studies, Professional Course Sequence and Core RequirementsAll of the requirements listed above apply to this program. Secondary Education
Academic SpecializationEnglishThe English major for English Education certification students requires twelve courses:
At least four courses in total must be at the 200 level or above.
English as a Second Language (ESL) SpecialistDr. Jill Swavely-Gardner, Program Coordinator The ESL program specialist certificate is available as an “add-on” or endorsement to an Instructional teaching certificate. Candidates for the certificate are required to demonstrate competence of the fundamental concepts and practices of English as a second language, which are provided at the pre-school, elementary, or secondary levels.
The ESL specialist curriculum includes training in the following components: ● English Usage and Developing Linguistic Awareness
ESL Specialist Certification Requirements/Experiences
Secondary Foreign Language EducationDr. Jill Swavely-Gardner, Program Advisor Foreign Language certification is offered in French, German, Hebrew, Italian, Latin, Portuguese, and Spanish. General Studies, Professional Course Sequence and Core RequirementsIn addition to the Literature requirements listed above (see Other Requirements for College of Education Students), all students must take one of the following:
Program Requirements for Secondary Education
Academic Specialization For certification in one foreign language
These ten courses must include:
Academic Specialization For Certification in Two Foreign LanguagesTen courses in the first foreign language must be taken. If the language is begun at the college level, the first two elementary courses do not count toward the ten courses. At Temple, these courses are generally numbered 0051 and 0052.
Native speakers who were educated to speak, read, and write their native language need only eight courses in the formal study of their native language as a subject at the university level. Courses should be at an appropriate level for their background. There is no credit-by-examination given at Temple in a foreign language. A linguistics course is required for native speakers. The same courses required for the first foreign language apply also to the second foreign language, i.e., a course in composition and conversation, culture and civilization, and literature, preferably 20th century. A second linguistics course need not be taken. It is strongly recommended that certification in two languages be pursued in order to enhance career opportunities. Courses may be taken during summer school to avoid heavy course loads during the academic year. ELECTIVES (when certifying in one foreign language): 0-16 In the State of Pennsylvania, certification in a foreign language is a K-12 certificate. Since there is presently no certification in Pennsylvania in English as a Second Language (ESL or ESOL), foreign language teachers in this state are presently permitted to teach ESL as well under conditions specified by each school district.
Foreign Study and/or TravelStudy and travel experiences in relevant foreign language speaking areas are highly recommended. Temple provides such experiences at Temple's Rome Campus, the Temple-Sorbonne program, the Temple University of Puerto Rico exchange program, or Temple's exchange programs with the Universities of Hamburg and Tübingen in Germany. The Latin American Studies Semester program is an immersion experience available at Temple's Main Campus to all Spanish majors during spring semesters. Secondary Mathematics EducationCurrently, the Secondary Education program in Mathematics is under review and awaiting approval. All students enrolling in this program for the first time in 2005-2006 will be notified as soon as the new program is approved with any revised requirements that may affect their program of study. It is strongly recommended that you meet with an advisor before enrolling in classes specific to this major and leading to certification in Secondary Education in Mathematics. This is to assure that your intended program of study will be compatible with the proposed requirements. Dr. Jacqueline Leonard, Lead Professor General Studies, Professional Course Sequence and Core RequirementsSeveral restrictions and additions to the requirements listed above (see Other Requirements for College of Education Students) apply to students in this program: ● The Mathematics requirement cannot be met by C055 (College Mathematics). *The number of semester hours needed to fulfill specific requirements may vary slightly for transfer students.
