(215) 204-5618
Secondary Education programs prepare the student to teach in the
following
certification areas:
In order to maintain standing in Secondary Education, students must
achieve and
maintain a 2.5 average in their teaching field in addition to
maintaining an overall 2.5
cumulative average. A teaching field average below 2.0 will result in
probationary status.
Students in a secondary program with less than a 2.5 in their teaching
field are urged to
consider a change in teaching field or a transfer to another program
or department.
Students with less than a 2.5 average either in the major field or
overal l may not
register for student teaching and will not be recommended for
certification by the College
of Education.

ACADEMIC SPECIALIZATION
For certification in one foreign language:
Ten courses above the first two elementary courses must be taken (that
is, beyond courses
which generally have the number 0051 and 0052).
All courses must be taught in the target language. (Native speakers
who received most
of their pre-university education in their native land may be eligible
to certify by
taking eight appropriate foreign language courses in their native
language.)
These 10 courses must include:
Composition and Conversation:
At least two and preferably three courses are required except for
Italian in which only
one course is available.
- Culture and Civilization:
- One course is required.
Linguistics:
- One course is required. If no course is available in the target
language, one will have
to be taken in another department, but it will not count as a
foreign language course if
taken in the English or Speech departments.
Literature:
- At least one course is required, preferably contemporary.
Students should check with an
adviser to select the specific courses that meet the above
requirements. Additional
courses should also be selected in consultation with an adviser.
It is strongly
recommended that, in Spanish, courses be taken in Peninsular and
Latin American Spanish.
Similarly, in French, coursework should include both continental
and overseas French.
For Certification in Two Foreign Languages
Ten 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 10 courses. At
Temple, these courses are generally numbered 0051 and 0052.
For the second foreign language, eight courses must be taken. The
first two beginning
courses do count toward certification in the second foreign language.
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.

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 perm
itted to teach ESL as well under conditions specified by each school
district.
Students must achieve passing scores on designated proficiency
tests in each of the
four skills (listening, speaking, reading, and writing) in each
language of certification
to be permitted to take the methods courses in teaching a foreign
language, to student
teach, and to receive certification. The testing begins when the
student completes six
courses in the foreign language.
Foreign Study and/or Travel
Study 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
Templešs exchange
programs with the Universities of Hamburg and Tuebingen 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.
