Mission Statement

The goal of the Department of Languages and Literatures is to teach skills in speaking, listening, reading, and writing in languages other than English; to increase the student’s understanding of the history, traditions, literature, and civilization associated with the language of study; and to develop the critical, analytical, and composition skills necessary to use the language in the profession of choice.

The Department of Languages and Literatures offers Bachelor of Arts (B.A.) degrees in French, German, and Spanish, intended to prepare students for admission to graduate school; for careers in international organizations, government, and business; and for public school teaching and certification in cooperation with the College of Education. Language majors are expected to achieve satisfactory levels of proficiency in speaking, listening, reading, and writing and to acquire knowledge of the literature, history, and culture of a language. In addition, majors in Languages can pursue interdisciplinary studies in related fields or add to more professional fields a foundational linguistic component advantageous for employment opportunities.

 Minors in French, German, Japanese, and Spanish, and introductory and intermediate courses in Arabic, Chinese, Latin, Russian, and Shoshoni, provide an important component of the student’s general education in the Humanities and complement a wide variety of majors in other disciplines, increasing the ability to compete for jobs where a knowledge of one or more foreign languages is desired. The Department of Languages and Literatures, also, teaches courses in comparative literature, literature in translation, film, and cultural studies designed for a broad audience, in particular for those who lack the language competency to read major works in their original languages.

Two years (or equivalent) of a foreign language are prerequisites to all upper-division courses in French, German, Japanese, Russian and Spanish. However, the department reserves the right to place students at a level commensurate with their knowledge of a specific language.

Language Placement Testing

It is strongly recommended that all students with previous experience in French, German, or Spanish who have not yet taken a course in the language at Idaho State University take a placement test to determine the appropriate course in which to enroll. Placement tests are offered in the Counseling and Testing Center on the Second Floor (South Wing) of Graveley Hall. Results are available immediately upon completion of the exam. Students who have questions about how to determine an appropriate course after taking a placement exam should contact the Department of Languages and Literatures at (208) 282-3630. Students who have no experience in a language should enroll in the first course in the language (i.e., FREN 1101). 

C.L.E.P. Credit 
Students who speak French, German, or Spanish at home or who have learned the language abroad can receive credits by examination (C.L.E.P.) to be applied to their transcripts with an "S" grade (16 credits maximum). Students who gain the C.L.E.P. credits may partially fulfill Objective 4 of the General Education Requirements by taking one sequence course in the language in which they have gained the credits (e.g. 8 C.L.E.P. credits plus SPAN 2201, or 16 credits plus SPAN 3301). No C.L.E.P. exams are available for other languages. For further information, see the department secretary.

Other Language Exams 
 Students who have learned languages other than French, German, or Spanish may partially satisfy Objective 4 of the General Education Requirements by successfully completing one of the proficiency exams developed by Brigham Young University for a number of rarely taught languages. Applications for this exam may be obtained in the office of the Department of Languages and Literatures (Business Administration Building, Room 338-A).

Language Requirements for International Students
International students cannot apply their native languages to partial fulfillment of Objective 4 of the General Education Requirements (4 credits of a foreign language). Instead, their passing English 1101 and 1102 with at least a C- average will serve the dual purpose of fulfilling Objective 1 and partially satisfying Objective 4.

General Education Requirements

    1. To complete a major or minor in a foreign language, the student must fulfill  8 of the 9 General Education Objectives (a minimum of 36 credits--see Academic Information section of this Catalog).
    2. ANTH/ENGL/LANG 1107 satisfies General Education Objective 7.
    3. The following 3 credit courses taught in English fulfill Objective 9: CMLT 2207, Contemporary European Culture; CMLT 2208, Cultures of the Spanish-Speaking World; CMLT 2209, Cultures of Asia.

    4. One year of Arabic, Chinese, French, German, Japanese, Latin, Russian, Shoshoni, or Spanish at the elementary level may be taken to partially fulfill Objective 4.
    5. One year of Arabic, Chinese, French, German, Japanese, Latin, Russian, Shoshoni, or Spanish at the intermediate level may be taken to fulfill Objective 9.

Language Laboratory
The department maintains language laboratories on both the Pocatello and Idaho Falls campuses, which include tapes, CDs, DVDs, record and film archives, computers and video equipment. Its facilities are available to all language students
