The mission of The Via Lingua Group is to develop
global professionals who are thoughtful, creative and
effective practitioners of teaching English as a Foreign
Language. Our graduates are skilled practitioners who are
prepared with essential knowledge, competencies and
dispositions in the field. Student-centered learning
reflects historical and contemporary knowledge, theory,
cross-cultural awareness, and ongoing practice that meet the
academic, professional, personal, and social needs of
learners.
Via Lingua professional training programs are designed to
reflect and support the current knowledge base and effective
best practices in education. Curricular coherence is
strengthened through rigorous study and dialogue on purpose,
course content, and intended candidate learning outcomes.
Via Lingua educates students for global citizenship and
responsible leadership as teachers of English as a Foreign
Language, empowering graduates to pursue meaningful lives
and productive careers by sharing language and culture. We
are committed to the principles of excellence, innovation,
and community.
The mission of the Via Lingua International Group emphasizes
the importance of effective teaching and learning and views
the educational experience as extending beyond the
classroom. It strives to create individual and personal
qualification of its students to enable them to become
well-educated global citizens capable of knowing and
exercising meaningful life alternatives. The Via Lingua
program seeks to promote career and cultural development
through the application of “best practices” in teaching and
learning opportunities. In collaboration with the
educational community students develop an appreciation for
the challenge to provide all learners with equitable and
excellent learning outcomes. Through rigorous humanistic
curricular activities students gain the necessary expertise
to meet this challenge and participate in a collaborative
environment which supports individual excellence in content,
skill development, classroom management, and service within
the educational community.
Our teacher education programs strive to develop visionary
educators who will take the lead in transforming education
to better serve all students. We endeavor to prepare
competent and caring educators who exemplify the qualities
of commitment, service, vision and leadership, and who, in
turn, will cultivate these qualities in the students they
teach.
