中学教学既有挑战性，也有收获。通过在初中和初中BSE中学习语言艺术，您将通过一系列旨在促进专业和个人成长与发展的现场经验，从临床学习（实际在中学教室中学习）中受益。从美国文学，英国文学和世界文学，以及为中级阅读教学而专门设计的课程中，您将有很多选择。如果您决定继续进行研究生教育，那么您在该计划中获得的理论和实际应用将直接转化为您的成功。
Reading, writing, listening and communicating are some of the most important skills we learn as children. As we grow and face new challenges, these skills become vital for overcoming obstacles in positive ways. That’s why a language arts curriculum like the one at the University at Central Missouri should not only teach middle school and junior high students the subject but also provide them life skills. At UCM, we prepare you for this critical task at hand.
