Languages, Literatures and Cultures - French and Francophone Studies, Education

Majoring in Languages, Literatures and Cultures (BS) - French and Francophone Studies, Education (K-12) leads to a licensure that allows you to teach French at any level in both public and private schools, from kindergarten to high school. As a French teacher, you will have the opportunity to open students' minds to other languages, cultures and ways of seeing the world.

Research has shown that learning a second language provides students with a wide range of social and cognitive benefits, and in an increasingly globalized world the intercultural understanding and communication skills that language teachers impart are vital and valued by employers. For this reason, language teachers are in great demand in both public and private schools across the country.

In addition to French courses in the Department of Languages, Literatures and Cultures, you will complete professional teaching courses through Appalachian's prestigious Reich College of Education. Various field experiences plus a semester-long student teaching experience will prepare you well for the K-12 classroom.
