About Teaching a Second Language – Take Away the Frustration
Speaking with colleagues about teaching a second language always raises an interesting debate. Looking at French as a second language, a common response that many students give is “I hate French!”. To avoid being unrealistic, we must ask ourselves if rigidly following each strand of the French curriculum offers an organic process of intellectual growth, or if it presents an awkward and rushed approach, bounded by unrealistic goals.
One thing that I have learned about teaching a second language is that students take French for a variety of reasons. They are either pressured by government, school, or parents; and some are even self-motivated. Some students are pushed into French classes kicking and screaming, others jump at the opportunity to learn a new language and its cultural appreciation.

Graduate Schools
If you have obtained a Bachelor’s Degree, but would like to continue your education, you will want to apply to a Graduate School. Graduate degrees in the U.S. come in two forms: Master (MA or MS) and Doctorate (PhD). Both options require students to perform research and concentrate their studies on a particular subject of choice. Graduate Schools expect students to be well-prepared in their field and be able to direct their own courses of study to some measure, with the advice and input from faculty.
Students most often choose to attend Graduate School in the traditional manner on a campus, where learning experiences are shared with colleagues and faculty. This gives the student a fuller experience in their formal education. Online Graduate Schools, however, are becoming a strong force in the academic world. Online educational experiences compare favorably with campus-based schools, with the option to communicate with classmates and faculty through online classroom discussion and email.
