For Practicing Teachers of English to Speakers of Other Languages
Professional Project
The Independent Professional Project, or thesis, completes the Summer Master of Arts in Teaching program. In addition to being a significant personal experience, it should be of interest and value to others in the profession and of publishable quality. The project requirement may be met in a variety of ways:
- an academic research paper,
- a classroom-based action research project,
- a materials development project,
- an exchange group leadership project, or
- a language/culture study abroad project.
This range of options allows you to focus on a topic that will benefit you most in your development as a second language teacher.
