For Practicing Teachers of Spanish
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.
