BA in Chinese Education
Our program will provide you with excellent mastery of the Chinese language, literature and culture as well as the fundamentals of teaching. From creating lesson plans to managing the classroom, you’ll receive a rigorous course of instruction in teaching Chinese in grades K-12. The program pairs intensive coursework with hands-on student teaching opportunities to prepare the next generation of world language teachers.
Language teaching is an area of critical need across the country and Chinese is in high demand for careers in politics, government service and international business. Consequently, Chinese is increasing in popularity in secondary schools— it is currently the second most widely taught language (after Spanish) in dual-language immersion programs in Delaware and in the nation.
Our program leads to certification and stresses career readiness. Upon completion of coursework, student teaching and state-mandated certification tests, you will meet the necessary requirements to earn institutional recommendation for licensure and certification in Delaware. Teach anywhere! UD’s Certification Officer is dedicated to helping you through the certification process for any state(s) where you are interested in teaching (see UD’s Office of Certification and Accreditation).
