College Offers New Master's Program
Concordia College is launching a Master of Education in world language instruction this summer. Designed for all educators teaching world languages, coursework will include summer instruction at the Concordia Language Villages in language immersion pedagogy along with online courses during the academic year.
"Connecting our internationally recognized Language Villages with our accomplished Concordia faculty creates a powerful combination that makes this unique program in graduate teacher education possible," says Dr. Mark Krejci, vice president for Academic Affairs and dean of the college. "It will be an important addition to our distinctive global education."
Summer coursework will take place at the Language Villages' Turtle River Lake site near Bemidji, Minn. Courses will focus on language teaching and learning, observation and participation, and discussions and reflections on best practices in second language instruction. On-line courses will be offered during the academic year to complete the curriculum. The final component of the degree is an independent research thesis supported through an online seminar facilitated by the Master of Education faculty.
Donna Clementi, director of Education and Research for the Language Villages, will lead the program, utilizing a diverse team of professors and guest instructors with expertise in a variety of language instruction areas. The program has been approved by the Faculty Senate and Board of Regents and is awaiting final approval from the Higher Learning Commission.
