This year, for the first time, Miami Universitys English department is offering a new opportunity for studentsthe chance to earn a graduate certificate in Teaching English to Speakers of Other Languages, or TESOL.
Two Miami University graduate students traveled to China this winter to work with students at Sun Yat-Sen University as part of a creative writing internship.
Miami English departments ongoing plan of creating large lecture style classes was put into action this fall. The department chose to try this format in the hopes of engaging more students.
One of our goals is to really help students connect with ways to engage with psychology both in and outside of the classroom, said Diekman. Graduate coordinator Lauren Forrest agrees. Our goal is to be a haven of resources for psychology undergraduates, explained Forrest.
