The Master of Arts in Language Pedagogy (MALP) exposes the student to three main areas of study: language pedagogy, second language acquisition, and the literature and culture of the target area. The course of study focuses on developing professional skills and enabling students to critically evaluate and apply literature and research in the discipline. The MALP prepares students to teach adult learners at post-secondary institutions and private secondary institutions, or to continue graduate work in second language acquisition, research and pedagogy.

The MALP is available in five specializations: Chinese, Japanese, Portuguese, Russian, & Spanish. Please see the links below for a course of study in each emphasis.
