Master of Arts in Teaching World Languages

Entry requirements for 肯塔基大學

Candidates seeking admission to the MATWL program must demonstrate proficiency in the target language with a rating of at least Advanced Low on the ACTFL Oral Proficiency Interview (Intermediate High for Russian, Chinese, & Arabic). Oral Proficiency Interviews can be taken through ACTFL or by contacting the director to schedule one for a particlar language). Candidates must also document a course of study that reflects mastery of language structure, a broad range of modern and classical literature, and the history of the relevant culture(s). Candidates in Latin must document a course of study that reflects mastery of language structure, knowledge of the literature, history, mythology, and culture of ancient Rome and Greece, and proficiency in oral reading. Documentation of such a course of study typically consists of an undergraduate degree in a world language that includes a major in the appropriate language and/or other coursework sufficient to fulfill the MATWL admission requirements. Although each language area has its unique requirements, candidates typically have 48 to 66 credit hours in their academic teaching specialties or the equivalent of BA. A minimum 2.75 overall undergraduate GPA, a minimum 3.0 GPA in the language-specific field, and a minimum 3.0 GPA in any previous graduate work, Three letters of recommendation (To be submitted through the graduate school online application), An interview by the appropriate program faculty, A passing GRE Score, 200 hours of documented experience with children 6 to 13 years of age and 14- to 18-year old adolescents as well as community and cross-cultural experience, A character and fitness review, An Oral Proficiency Interview (except in Latin) that provides an Advanced-low speech sample in the target language.
An applicant may be provisionally admitted without meeting all of the minimum standards if other factors, including letters of recommendation, and the oral interviews (English and L2), indicate an ability to perform satisfactorily in graduate-level work. Presentation of a minimum Graduate Record Examination score (GRE) and a minimum Grade Point Average (GPA) does not, however, automatically guarantee admission to the program, as the final decision depends on an evaluation of all materials submitted and the Program Faculty's assessment of the applicant's potential for successful graduate study and eventual teaching in the public schools.
International applicants whose native language is not English must submit either a TOEFL (Test of English as a Foreign Language) or IELTS (International English Language Testing System) score. The University of Kentucky requires a minimum TOEFL score of 550 (paper-based), 213 (computer-based) or 79 (internet-based). For IELTS, a minimum mean band score of 6.5 is required.
