The Master of Arts in Language and Literature (MALL) program is designed to provide training in language and literature as intersecting fields of study. It equips its students with theoretical and pedagogic competencies in these areas of knowledge, and provides a forum for critical discussions and studies on linguistic and literary issues. It also engages its students in research projects on various topics related to language, literature, and the wider field of cultural studies.
The MALL program seeks to address the need in the Cordillera Administrative Region (CAR) and other neighboring regions for quality education in language and literature in all levels of the educational system.
The MALL program aims to:
- Effectively apply theories grounded in language and literary theories;
- Apply current methods, techniques, technologies in language and literature instruction and research; and
- Participate and contribute to discussions of relevant issues in language and literature.
The MALL program is particularly suited to teachers of language and literature, school administrators and supervisors, teacher educators, and researchers intending to pursue projects that implicate language and literature. It may also be taken by other college graduates who wish to upgrade and update their linguistic and literary competencies, or to shift to another area of expertise.
