Keeping with the tradition of collaboration and knowledge sharing, our program faculty and students publish in scholarly and practitioner journals and present at regional, national, and international conferences. Although, the C & I degree program is situated within a major research university and its scholars conduct innovative and groundbreaking research, the program offers a “small school” atmosphere and students benefit from attentive mentoring from faculty and the wider academic community.

You will have the opportunity to participate in research and investigate issues such as those related to language pedagogy and curricula, second language acquisition, the development of articulated foreign and second language programs, cultural aspects of language acquisition, and other issues related to multilingualism/multiculturalism.

Within the specialization area of foreign language education, candidate research focuses on issues related to the teaching of Spanish, French, German, Russian, Chinese, Japanese, Italian, Arabic, German, Hebrew, Turkish, and Portuguese, among others.
