The primary pathway is secondary English Language Arts teaching.

Your skills may also support work in educational publishing, youth programs, and community education, or further study in English, writing, and education.

The Language and Literature Department works with SXU's Education Division to combine English content preparation with professional education.

Students develop both an understanding of their subject and approaches to supporting learners.

The English Secondary Education program offers transformative, hands-on learning experiences that will set you apart as a teacher. Engage in immersive classroom field experiences and student teaching placements, where you'll apply the theory and techniques learned in the classroom to real-world teaching environments.

By the completion of the program, students should be able to:

• Apply and demonstrate knowledge and theoretical perspectives about a variety of literary and informational texts -- e.g., young adult, classic, contemporary, and media -- that represent a range of world literatures, historical traditions, genres, cultures, and lived experiences.
• Apply and demonstrate knowledge and theoretical perspectives of the relationships among form, audience, context, and purpose by composing and critically curating a range of texts (e.g., print, digital, media).
• Apply and demonstrate knowledge and theoretical perspectives of language and linguistics including language acquisition, conventions, dialect, grammar systems, and the impact of languages on society as they relate to various rhetorical situations (e.g., journalism, social media, popular culture) and audiences.

• Interpret literary texts in historical and cultural contexts.
• Develop evidence-based arguments through research and writing.
• Explain how language and rhetoric shape meaning.
• Design instruction that supports reading, writing, and discussion.
