Program Overview

The demand for foreign language teachers is high and continues to grow every year. As communities become more culturally diverse, so too do our schools. Language education can be the path that sets you apart in the job market and secures your future as an educator. Look to the University of Central Missouri and our Modern Languages program to provide the training and experience you need to become a Spanish, French or German teacher.

Foreign language education for today’s educators

When earning your Bachelor of Arts in Modern Languages, with a focus on Teacher Education, you’ll learn from award-winning educators who, like you, place a high value on language education. Through these tenured faculty or native speakers, you’ll learn the foundation of education and experience the art of teaching French, Spanish or German. You’ll graduate with a unique skill set that demonstrates critical thinking, flexibility in learning, great discipline and the ability to engage a diverse classroom

What you will study

First, decide if you want to be a French, Spanish or German teacher. From there, you’ll develop language proficiency beyond the Elementary II level. At the same time, you’ll take classes specific to language education for teachers, including the Methods of Teaching Foreign Languages course, for a well-rounded degree in Modern Languages.  

Finish out UCM’s foreign language education program with student teaching in a classroom before you embark on your career as a French, Spanish or German teacher or continue your own education in grad school.

Previous language experience for your degree in Modern Languages

If you already have previous foreign language experience, you may qualify to forgo some elementary-level classes in UCM’s Modern Languages degree program. Placement exams for French, German and Spanish are available. You may also qualify to receive credit for some language courses if you hold the Seal of Biliteracy.
