Rationale for Changes:
Master's Teaching English as an Additional LanguIIl!e (TESLITEFL)
#1. Delete
rouc
820-5 Current Issues in Cun-iculum and Pedagogy from core courses and add to
Elective courses.
Currently
the MEd program consists of 4 core courses and 3 electives. The number of courses for the MA
degree is 5 and will require a Research Methods course for MA candidates. EDUC
8~4,
825 and 856 are
the courses most closely linked to developing expertise in the field of TEAL. and arc taught by the core
faculty in TEAL. By retaining these courses as core, and moving EDUC 820 to the Elective list; this would
open room for MA candidates to choose both a research course and an elective course that would
complement
their
interests.
#2. Delete EDUC 827-5 Individual Differences in Learning fl'om program.
vRecent offerings of Educ 8:!7 have been providing content that students who are not specializing in
(/,G;)
Educational Psychology find too challenging due to lack ofbackgTound knowledge.
fj
.;;
I
.
'"#3. Add. r;U
route to TEAL program.
There
ar~veral
reasons why we would like to offer an MA route as an option for students interested in
TEAL. The MA will expand the options for students interested in the field. There is demand from
applicants to the program; who are looking for a research MA option degree. Cun'cntly we have been
advising such applicants to take the MA route through the C&l Foundations program or an Individual
.' program and choose electives from among the core TEAL courses. Opening up a MA program will allow
students to take the degree they want, to secure the program title in which they have completed the work
\ and to be with other students interested in TEAL. The change will also allow for more cohesive
student/supervisor relationships among MA students interested in TEAL and the core faculty in the field.
We also see the MA route as a precursor for applicants to the PhD program in Languages, Cultures and
Literacies.
I
1
#4. Addition of a research methods course for the MA route.
I
The TEAL field is a research intcllsi ve area of scholarship and students choosing this route will commonly
\
engage
in rigorous research to complete their thesis requirement. Therefore, a Research Methods course
must be a required course for students in the MA degree route. An appropriate research course will be
approved, with permission from the Senior Supervisor.
\
#5. Reduction of MED degree from 35 units to a minimum of 30 units of course wOlk
To match the Calendar change in the Curriculum
&
Instruction program that proposed a decrease in all
-/ MEd Education degrees to a minimum 0[30 units of course work.
