Preparing Entry-Level Foreign Language Teachers

What kind of educator do you want to be?
Warner School graduates are critically reflective practitioners and scholars who are committed to social justice, equity and school reform. Our master's degrees focusing on Foreign Language education prepare French, Spanish, and German teachers. We strive to prepare teachers who understand that learning a foreign language includes communicative competence, cultural expertise, and mastery of the structural complexities of a language.

The Warner School's programs are flexible to accommodate the interests of individual students. Through coursework, field experiences, and projects, programs can be tailored to focus on a specific certification area or multiple areas.
