General education

Secondary education students may follow a concentration in French or Spanish as well as English or writing.  If you are an elementary education major and do not intend to be certified to teach a foreign language in middle school, you may complete the regular 15-credit academic minor above instead of the minor for teacher certification, as described in this Rocket Spanish review.  It stays abreast of trends and issues in language education and brings innovation and renewal to instruction.  If you are too old to study at school, join local adult education classes or borrow or buy books so that you can read around these subjects.  Also try to stay actively involved in general education organizations.
