The MA in Language and Literature at FEU is an enriching academic journey that not only deepens one’s understanding of language and literature but also prepares individuals to contribute meaningfully to scholarly and professional discourse in the field.

The Master of Arts in Letters is a 42 units program designed to provide a broadly inclusive program of advanced studies in literature, with a particular focus on national and world literatures, literary theory and criticism, and research and creative writing. This equips students with training and scholarly backgrounds for further studies in the field.

The program curriculum is divided into two parts, generally comprising two years of study. In the first part, the program offers course work which covers the most influential and important literatures of the world, such as Spanish Literature, Asian Literature and American Literature, and the equally important Philippine Literature, and research training, providing students the necessary knowledge and tools to undertake the second part of the program. In the second part of the program, students hone their skills in writing as they immerse themselves in creative writing and in research leading up to their thesis.

In the Master of Arts in Letters program, students can gain a broad knowledge of literary scholarship and theory, while also studying the latest approaches to literature, greatly improve their critical thinking and writing skills, and prepare them for further studies in the field of Literature and beyond.

Graduates of the MA in Language and Literature program are prepared for careers in various fields, including:

  • Academia (University Professors, Researchers)
  • Publishing and Editing (Writers, Editors, Translators)
  • Media and Communications (Content Developers, Cultural Analysts)
  • Government and Policy Work (Language and Cultural Policy Experts)
  • Corporate Training and Development (Language and Writing Consultants)

  • There are three models in the teaching of literature:

    (1) The Cultural Model which view literature as a teacher-centered and source of facts where teacher delegates knowledge and information to students,

    (2) The Language Model which allows teacher to employ strategies used in language teaching to deconstruct literary texts in order to serve specific linguistic goals, and

    (3) The Personal Growth Model where the focus is on a particular use of language in a text and in a specific cultural context.

    These models have been incorporated in various approaches in the teaching of literature. There are six approaches in the teaching of literature. They are the (1) Language-Based Approach, (2) Paraphrastic Approach, (3) Information-Based Approach, (4) Personal-Response Approach, (5) Moral-Philosophical Approach, and (6) Stylistic Approach. Carter, R. and Long (1991)
