The linguistics department master of arts (MA) degree program in language teaching studies is designed to prepare leaders in the field of language teaching and learning in the United States and internationally. The program focuses on transformational approaches to language instruction through innovation in curriculum, pedagogy, materials development, digital technologies, and assessment, including how evidence-based principles and practices can be adapted across a wide range of language learning contexts. Participants in the program can focus on one or more languages, including English and other commonly taught world languages, or less commonly taught and indigenous languages. The program is particularly sensitive to the evolving needs of language learners in this era of globalization and internationalization.<br>This 15-month intensive graduate program is a terminal degree for teachers of English and/or teachers of other languages. Only under exceptional circumstances do we admit students to work toward an MA in General Linguistics. LTS prepares leaders in language education. In this era of globalization, the program serves the evolving needs of both majority and minority language learners. Students can specialize in more than one language, including minoritized languages such as the Indigenous languages of the Pacific Northwest.
