French: Multi-Age Adolescence & Young Adult Licensure
Overview of the Program:
Degrees in these programs are awarded by Case Western Reserve University and licensure is obtained through John Carroll University.
The program preparing students in the Case Department of Modern Languages and Literature to teach French (multiage: preschool-through-secondary) has been designed in accordance with Ohio Performance-Based Standards, the Ohio Model Curriculum in Foreign Language, and guidelines set by professional organizations such as ACTFL.
Students participating in the teacher licensure program complete a 45-47 semester hour major in French, including coursework in French language, culture, and literature, and a 35-hour sequence in professional education. Coursework in French begins in the freshman year with a language course appropriate to the student's proficiency level. It continues until the student has completed a range of upper-level courses and has met the goals of the program.
Students are strongly encouraged to complete some of their coursework in a French-speaking country, and students are assisted in identifying opportunities for study abroad.
Professional education courses begin with a sequence of EDUC coursework taken on the Case campus, followed, with admission to advance standing, by 20 semester hours at John Carroll University, culminating in the student teaching experience.
