Overview

Beginning with the first course taken in the education curriculum, students complete 100 hours in middle and high school classrooms tutoring and observing before they begin student teaching.

These field experiences prepare students for student teaching internships during either the certification or graduate portion of their education. During these internships, students observe, prepare lesson plans and teach. The student teaching programs typically last 16 weeks. The Language Arts Education curriculum is designed so that students can receive a Bachelor of Science degree in four years, from University of Oklahoma, though this can vary depending on when the student becomes a fully admitted student to the college.

Interests and Skills

Most language arts education students have interests in literature, writing, or speech. They enjoy working with adolescents and are comfortable in school settings. High school preparation should include working to strengthen writing skills through personal and literary work and tutoring or working with middle and high school students.
