SUMMER PROGRAM
Inter
American University of Puerto Rico’s campus in San Germán, Puerto Rico,
offers an intensive MA-TESL Summer Program that allows teachers to work
towards their degree during summers. Participants
of the Summer Program have the opportunity to be part of a select and uniquely
diverse group of teachers from Puerto Rico, the US, and other countries.
Summer
Program participants can complete the 36-credit course requirement of the
program by taking a total of 12 courses during three consecutive summers:
two courses each June and two each July.
The comprehensive exam will be administered when coursework has been
completed.
The
goals of the Summer Program are the following:
- to permit teachers to complete their degree during the summer without
affecting their regular employment,
- to encourage interaction among teachers from different
institutions and locations, and
- to experience living in a predominantly ESL environment while working
toward a degree in TESL.
Students who wish to live in
a dormitory with other participants of the program should apply for housing
by the end of April of the year they intend to attend.
Tentative
Rotating Summer Program Course offerings
Every
summer a set of four courses is offered: two core courses, one core elective,
and one prescribed distributive requirement.
Each set of four courses will be offered every three years, so that
during any three consecutive summers students can complete their coursework
(a total of six core courses, three core electives, and three prescribed
distributive requirements).
