Bachelor of Education in Secondary Education - Second Languages - German in Edmonton Canada | University of Alberta

Our program provides training in multiple widely-spoken languages that students can choose as a primary or secondary focus within their Bachelor of Secondary Education degree. Each language specialization focuses not just on developing fundamental communication skills, but also on cultivating a deep appreciation for the language's cultural heritage and historical context. Teaching is more than a profession—it's a vocation, and we're committed to shaping educators who will leave a lasting impact on their students. Through our Faculty of Education's Secondary Education curriculum, you'll gain the skills to inspire curiosity and knowledge in grades 7-12 students across various subjects. The program lets you select two concentration areas—a primary and secondary specialization—enabling you to tailor your educational journey to your interests.

The Secondary Education curriculum features two practical teaching components: a five-week Introductory Professional Term (IPT) and a nine-week Advanced Professional Term (APT). Students typically instruct in their primary specialization area during both terms. While designed as a four-year course, this degree also accommodates those pursuing it as a post-degree qualification. Graduates will qualify for Alberta teacher certification upon successful program completion.
