Bachelor of Arts in Modern Languages with French Teaching Certification
The Bachelor of Arts Degree in Modern Languages with an Emphasis in French Teacher Certification seeks to develop a broader understanding of Francophone cultures through their primary manifestation: language. In addition to improving the skills of speaking, listening, reading, and writing, our courses expose students to historical, literary, and social artifacts of French-speaking cultures. In addition to courses in language, literature, and writing, students also take courses in teaching methodologies, psychology, and professional education so that they learn how to teach language, literature, culture, and writing in French. Students will also spend their last semester teaching under the supervision of an experienced, licensed teacher. Students can also join the French Club with opportunities to promote and share Francophone cultures. You can also eat lunch weekly at the French Table and converse with native speakers, fellow students, and community members. Students enrolled in intermediate and upper level classes (4th semester and above) meet weekly with a French native speaker for a one-on-one half hour conversation session. We also encourage all French majors to study abroad. You can opt for a shorter faculty-led trip, or you can choose an exchange program that lets you study abroad for a summer, semester, or entire year. We strongly encourage French Education majors to apply to the American Teaching Assistant in France program, where American French majors are employed by the French government to be teaching assistants in French schools for one academic year. PSU has exchanges with sister universities around the world that allow PSU students to pay tuition at our university while they study abroad.
