Master of Arts in Literacy, Language, and Culture

Program Overview

Nationwide, English Language Learners (ELLs) represent 10 percent of total public school enrollment, and Illinois public schools serve students speaking more than 135 distinct languages. More and more school districts are requiring their teachers to obtain specialized training to respond to these trends. Prepare to be an effective educator in this changing dynamic with a master of arts in literacy, language, and culture (MALLC), during which you’ll broaden your skill set and gain the knowledge you need to be successful teaching students and working with families from a wide range of cultural backgrounds.

The North Park University School of Education prepares competent, respectful, and reflective professionals who are dedicated to serving diverse learning communities.

The master of arts in literacy, language, and culture (MALLC) is designed for current, licensed elementary and secondary teachers who are working with linguistically and culturally diverse students in a variety of educational settings. MALLC candidates will have the opportunity to earn the ESL and bilingual endorsement (if fluent in a language recognized by ISBE).
