Literacy and Language Education

Overview

Are you interested in exploring contemporary issues in literacy and language teaching and learning?

Our literacy and language education program is ideal for K-12 teachers and prospective scholars who are interested in teaching, research and scholarship. The program uses a mixture of historical, quantitative and qualitative methodologies.

Students in our master’s program can choose between writing a research thesis or completing a portfolio that documents their growth as a teacher. At the doctoral level, students conduct original research to complete a dissertation.

Further, if you’re a teacher interested in English Language Learning, take a look at our ELL Licensure program and TELL certificate program, both for grades K-12.
