Italian Major with Inclusive Adolescence Education
|
|
 Return to: ACADEMIC PROGRAMS A-Z
The purpose of the Italian Major Program with Inclusive Adolescence Education is to prepare students to think and perceive rationally and critically with the goal of becoming effective teachers. This education includes reading and thinking; learning about literary and cultural movements; and making connections between the primarily aesthetic literary artifacts of the culture and its political, social, and economic history.
Through the Emerson Language Laboratory, students are trained to use new learning and technology media at all language levels to allow them to communicate effectively in the world. Likewise, they are encouraged to prepare themselves philosophically and practically to make linkages between the major and other academic disciplines.
The student majoring in Italian learns about the world of ideas and letters, past, present, and future. This training strongly encourages at least one semester of study abroad. The cohesive, integrated program of foreign language, culture, and literature courses ensures maximum proficiency in the target language.
All Inclusive Adolescence Education students are required to have a cumulative GPA of 2.7 or higher in order to advance into Junior-level education coursework.
