The English Club<\/h3>

The UMW English Club brings together students who share a love of literature, creating a welcoming space for English majors and all who enjoy the written word. Through creative programming, interactive activities, and engaging events, we build community, foster connections with faculty and peers, and help students explore ways to thrive both academically and beyond graduation. The English Club also supports the planning and execution of the department’s Thursday Poetry and Prose series. You can keep up with our activities by following us on Instagram<\/a>!<\/p>

The Linguistics Club<\/h3>

UMW Linguistics Club fosters leadership development through educational and awareness projects that explore how linguistics and language impact our daily lives. We coordinate meetings where officers and members discuss language’s role in society while providing tutoring assistance for students in linguistics and language courses. Our programming helps students recognize and appreciate the linguistic diversity and complexity that surrounds us while building community within the linguistics department. The club sponsors field trips and guest speakers. You can keep up with our activities by following us on Instagram<\/a>!<\/p>

For scholars who work in educational settings, this research has a special urgency, given the increasing educational needs of young people from diverse linguistic backgrounds and the declining resources available to support their academic success. Moreover, youth who speak sociopolitically subordinated linguistic varieties regularly face the devaluation of their language in the classroom and the wider society, despite the considerable linguistic and cultural expertise they bring to school from their families, peer groups, and local communities. In this talk I demonstrate how a combined research and community partnership program in California addresses these problems by promoting sociolinguistic justice (Bucholtz et al. 2014). SKILLS (School Kids Investigating Language in Life and Society) prepares primarily low-income Latina\/o high school students for college by guiding them to undertake original research and activist projects on language, identity, and power in their lives. The goal of SKILLS is not to “empower” youth but to recognize their already considerable agency to challenge sociolinguistic injustice. I consider various student-activist projects within the program that illustrate youth agency in countering linguistic racism. The SKILLS program provides one example of how scholars can help local youth to make use of their own linguistic and cultural knowledge and insights to work toward sociolinguistic justice.<\/p><p>This event was co-sponsored by the departments of History and American Studies, Modern Languages and Literatures, and Sociology and Anthropology; the programs in American Studies, Women’s and Gender Studies, and Honors; the Student Education Association; and the colleges of Arts and Sciences and Education.<\/p><p><strong>“Masculine, Feminine, Neuter, Vegetable: Grammatical Gender around the World”<\/strong><\/p><p><strong>Dr. Ruth Kramer (Department of Linguistics, Georgetown University)<\/strong><br><strong>November 7, 2016 at 7:30 p.m. <\/strong><br><strong>HCC Digital Auditorium<\/strong><\/p><p>Grammatical gender inspires awe in language scientists and frustration in language learners.

One great teacher can save a life, strengthen a community, and help build the foundation of critical thinking on which democracy rests.

As an English major, you can become fully licensed to teach English on the secondary (6-12) level during the time it takes to complete your undergraduate degree. <a href=\"https:\/\/education.umw.edu\/wp-content\/blogs.dir\/81\/files\/2024\/06\/UG-Secondary_P12-Education-Checksheet.2-2026.pdf\">This checklist offers an overview of the requirements for licensure to teach English<\/a>. UMW’s <a href=\"https:\/\/education.umw.edu\/\">College of Education<\/a> also offers an Elementary Education major, Special Education certification, and several Master’s programs in Education.<\/p><p>Your English and Education academic advisors will help you set up a program of classes that prepares you to start a rewarding job immediately after graduation. Many of your education courses will include a practicum in the public schools to let you discover what grades you most enjoy, learn from practicing teachers, and steadily build your skills as you move from observer to licensed classroom teacher.<\/p><h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-how-to-prepare-for-a-career-in-teaching\">How to Prepare for a Career in Teaching<\/h3><p>Apply to the <a href=\"https:\/\/education.umw.edu\/advising\/admissions\/undergraduate-admissions\/\">College of Education<\/a> in your first year at UMW to ensure you can graduate on schedule. Courses in the English major count toward your state certification requirements, as do your required education courses.<\/p><p>Plan ahead: your final semester at UMW will be a rewarding full-time internship in the public schools under the mentorship of UMW professors and professional teachers.<\/p><h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-teaching-beyond-schools\">Teaching Beyond Schools<\/h3><p>While most English majors who want to teach seek out careers in the public schools, our majors also teach in other venues. You can teach English in another country. You can teach in a private school that does not require certification. You can take on teaching and training responsibilities in the corporate world. Like the critical thinking, writing, and communication skills honed by the English major, teaching skills are in high demand everywhere.<\/p><h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-for-more-information\">For More Information<\/h4><p>For more information about UMW’s education programs, requirements, the application process, and opportunities, consult the <a href=\"https:\/\/education.umw.edu\/\">College of Education web site<\/a> and speak with your advisor.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Preparing for a Career in Teaching in Schools and BeyondOne good teacher can change a student’s life.

I wrote two articles, one about an alumna and one about a current UMW senior. Both articles highlighted UMW’s academic programs and our students’ success, and I really enjoyed interviewing both. One article is already published on the UMW homepage, and the other is on the way. My supervisor, who was also a UMW English major, encouraged me to learn to write professional copy, interview human subjects, and work with a writing team. I enjoyed getting hands-on experience in a role my English major prepared me for, and now I’m considering careers in the field.<\/p><ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.linkedin.com\/redir\/redirect?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww%2Eumw%2Eedu%2Fnews%2F2024%2F05%2F09%2Fscholarships-help-dancer-biology-major-take-steps-toward-commencement%2F&urlhash=5V8P&trk=public_profile_publication-title\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Scholarships Help Dancer, Biology Major Take Steps Toward Commencement<\/a>University of Mary Washington May 9, 2024<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.linkedin.com\/redir\/redirect?url=https%3A%2F%2Fgiving%2Eumw%2Eedu%2Fblog%2F2024%2F04%2F24%2Fumw-historic-preservation-alumna-pivots-to-career-as-a-pop-culture-critic%2F&urlhash=TXQp&trk=public_profile_publication-title\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">UMW Historic Preservation Alumna Pivots to Career as a Pop Culture Critic<\/a>University of Mary Washington April 24, 2024<\/li>\n<\/ul><p class=\"has-medium-font-size\"><strong>Garrett Hennessey, on his internship at the Jepson Alumni Center:<\/strong><\/p><div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"alignleft size-large is-resized\"><a href=\"https:\/\/cas.umw.edu\/enli\/files\/2024\/09\/image-1.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"559\" height=\"1024\" data-attachment-id=\"51761\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/cas.umw.edu\/enli\/enli-internship-stories\/image-2\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/cas.umw.edu\/enli\/files\/2024\/09\/image-1.png\" data-orig-size=\"806,1476\" data-comments-opened=\"0\" data-image-meta='{\"aperture\":\"0\",\"credit\":\"\",\"camera\":\"\",\"caption\":\"\",\"created_timestamp\":\"0\",\"copyright\":\"\",\"focal_length\":\"0\",\"iso\":\"0\",\"shutter_speed\":\"0\",\"title\":\"\",\"orientation\":\"0\"}' data-image-title=\"image\" data-image-description=\"\" data-image-caption=\"\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/cas.umw.edu\/enli\/files\/2024\/09\/image-1-559x1024.png\" src=\"https:\/\/cas.umw.edu\/enli\/files\/2024\/09\/image-1-559x1024.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-51761\" style=\"width:172px;height:auto\" srcset=\"\/\/cas.umw.edu\/enli\/files\/2024\/09\/image-1-559x1024.png 559w, \/\/cas.umw.edu\/enli\/files\/2024\/09\/image-1-164x300.png 164w, \/\/cas.umw.edu\/enli\/files\/2024\/09\/image-1-768x1406.png 768w, \/\/cas.umw.edu\/enli\/files\/2024\/09\/image-1-623x1140.png 623w, \/\/cas.umw.edu\/enli\/files\/2024\/09\/image-1.png 806w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 559px) 100vw, 559px\"><\/a><\/figure>\n<\/div><p>Throughout my semester of interning at the Jepson Alumni Center, I have been exposed to necessary experiences that will assist me with my future career path. For any student working towards an English degree, it is strongly encouraged that an internship is completed before graduation. Fortunately, I decided to search what alumni with English degrees chose for their internships. With that information I found the Jepson Alumni center, an excellent organization for which to intern. Looking back to a few months ago was my first main task within the internship. I was tasked with transcribing the President’s board meeting into a document. The Jepson Alumni Center is the campus facility that puts emphasis on student and alumni engagement. I found myself assisting in planning multiple events through the course of the semester. My passion for the university is at an all-time high after exposure to a fantastic organization within the university. With confidence I can say I achieved one of my goals towards figuring out a career path. <\/p><p>—-<\/p><p>Spring 2023 Internships<\/p><p>See stories from our English and Linguistics interns below.<\/p><h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-elsa-howell-with-virginia-folklife-program\">Elsa Howell with Virginia Folklife Program<\/h4><p>In my last semester at UMW, I had the pleasure of interning with the Virginia Folklife Program through UMW’s English department. It was an immersive and exciting experience for me as a writer, a poet, and a musician. I would encourage any students who enjoy historic literature, music, poetry, or folklore to apply for an internship with the Virginia Folklife Program.<\/p><p>The Folklife Program gave me professional writing experience by requiring me to write a creative article for their online publication. I felt prepared for this type of professional writing because of my skills learned studying literature and writing conventions at UMW. I had the joy of creative freedom and I got to tell my story from my own perspective.<\/p><div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter\"><a href=\"http:\/\/cas.umw.edu\/enli\/files\/2023\/05\/Howell.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"300\" height=\"173\" data-attachment-id=\"51532\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/cas.umw.edu\/enli\/enli-internship-stories\/howell\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/cas.umw.edu\/enli\/files\/2023\/05\/Howell.png\" data-orig-size=\"1430,825\" data-comments-opened=\"0\" data-image-meta='{\"aperture\":\"0\",\"credit\":\"\",\"camera\":\"\",\"caption\":\"\",\"created_timestamp\":\"0\",\"copyright\":\"\",\"focal_length\":\"0\",\"iso\":\"0\",\"shutter_speed\":\"0\",\"title\":\"\",\"orientation\":\"0\"}' data-image-title=\"Howell\" data-image-description=\"\" data-image-caption=\"<p>Here is a fun photo of my mentor, Elizabeth, and I at her farm.

Part of my internship requirements were to analyze job postings and candidate resumes with a critical eye, ensuring that the best candidate for the position was selected. I was able to put my analytical and close reading skills to good use, reading between the lines and determining what skills and experiences were necessary for the role and how to identify potential red flags in candidates. I was fortunate enough to take English courses that taught me how to effectively analyze what lies beyond literature to prepare me for this role.<\/p><p>Additionally, my research skills allowed me to source candidates from a variety of different channels, including social media, job boards, and recruiting events, which I accumulated through the writing requirements of the Major. Another requirement of my internship was to have strong communication skills, skills that were honed in courses such as my Oscar Wilde seminar, and my “Literature of the Great War” class, where I was challenged to dig deep and facilitate sometimes uncomfortable conversations that ultimately led to deeper understanding of the material for all involved.<\/p><p>My interdisciplinary thinking skills have allowed me to approach problems and challenges from different angles, bringing a unique perspective to the team.

too early to think about who knows you and your work. A freshman who gets to know one professor each term will have eight potential recommenders senior year. <span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">Your most useful recommenders will have taught you more than once<\/span> and be able to talk about your good work on major papers, projects, or presentations.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><b>Ask <\/b>whether a potential recommender feels like they know you and your work well enough to be able <span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">to provide a strong reference on your behalf.<\/span> (If not, ask someone else.)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><b>Remind <\/b>your recommenders, preferably in writing, <span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">what courses you took with them and what work from those courses best reflects your academic accomplishments and interests.<\/span> If you produced a particularly good paper, presentation, project, etc., <span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">provide a copy<\/span> to refresh their memory.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\"> <\/span><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><b>Inform <\/b>your recommenders about you. Give them a copy of your resume. Fill them in on <span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">accomplishments, honors, clubs or activities, coursework, and relevant work or volunteer experience<\/span>—and mention anything you’d like them to stress in their recommendation.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\"> <\/span><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><b>Educate<\/b> your recommenders about the job, degree program, or opportunity, and why it is a good match for you. Email useful information like the <span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">job description, scholarship criteria, admission requirements<\/span>, etc. For Ph.D. programs, it helps to give recommenders a list of faculty and their areas of specialization at each school so their letters can demonstrate that your research interests would let you work with multiple scholars—something admissions committees often value.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><b>Deliver <\/b>a copy of your <span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">resume or application statement<\/span>, <span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">a clear list of deadlines and submission procedures<\/span>, and <span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">your contact information<\/span> in case of questions. Most recommendations get submitted online; make sure your part of all applications will be ready in time for recommenders to submit all their letters at once. If paper submission is required, include necessary forms and stamped addressed envelopes.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><b>Follow up<\/b> <span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">before the deadline if needed to make sure your letters have been sent<\/span>. (Professors get very busy.) Don’t forget to express thanks afterwards. (Professors also welcome hearing your good news.) <strong>Good luck!<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol><p><i>Questions?
