Enhance your academic and professional profile with an understanding of the roles technology plays in learning and teaching additional languages. Develop a solid theoretical understanding of computer-assisted language learning activities and the skills for implementing them in the language classroom.
The graduate certificate program in computer-assisted language learning focuses on the application of technology in foreign language teaching and research.
The program teaches the practical, hands-on skills needed to create and evaluate learning and teaching materials with new computer-based technologies. Students learn how to use technology effectively to facilitate instructed second language acquisition. The program also provides students with a solid theoretical and pedagogical framework for the integration of technology into the foreign language curriculum, and it provides them with the tools necessary to teach language courses in either a hybrid or distance learning environment.
