School Location
The undergraduate program in modern foreign language education prepares teachers of French, Spanish, German, Italian, and Russian. The program has been designed to reflect current theory and practice in foreign language teaching, and to conform to the guidelines established by the American Council on the Teaching of Foreign Languages (ACTFL).

The program includes a strong liberal arts component, a carefully planned sequence of professional courses combining theory and practice with field experiences, and a major in the language that the student plans to teach. It emphasizes effective communication skills and strong interpersonal skills, the ability to acquire and use knowledge from a variety of media and technologies, and leadership ability in curriculum development and instruction. There is close coordination of classwork in education, field experiences, and modern foreign language methodology. Student teaching provides firsthand experience with various roles and responsibilities of schools and school personnel, and allows students to put their knowledge into practice and refine their skills. Foreign language courses emphasize communication, as well as grammar, culture, and literature.

Students planning to teach French, Italian, or Spanish are encouraged to take advantage of the appropriate opportunities through the Boston University Division of International Programs.
