Courses Offered

All courses offered for graduate credit in the participating departments, as well as graduate courses in other departments, may count towards the degree requirements. In addition to the departmental offerings MAFLL offers core seminars and interdisciplinary courses as follows:

Core seminars are graduate-level seminars, both methodological and theoretical. Cutting across traditional discipline and department boundaries, these seminars serve as a background for subsequently more intensive study in your chosen area(s). These core seminars examine essential and basic aspects of the study of languages, literature, linguistics, translation, such as:

• the nature and significance of language and communication
• theories of second language acquisition
• approaches to literature
• modes of verbal and symbolic representation
• foreign language methodology and pedagogy
• literary and cultural translation
  
  

Teaching Assistants in foreign language courses are required to take MAFLL 700, Language Teaching Methods in their first semester.

Interdisciplinary/Interdepartmental courses are taught singly or jointly by resident or visiting faculty members. These courses are more specifically focused than the core seminars, offering students the possibility of concentrated work in a particular area of interest or in the comparative approach.
