Goals and Objectives
The goals of the Department of Foreign Languages are to increase knowledge and understanding of languages and cultures other than English through the development of foreign language skills in speaking, writing, reading, listening, and cultural competence.
Student Related Outcome Objectives for beginning foreign language courses:
1. To gain a knowledge of all the important aspects of basic grammar in the chosen language.
2. To develop speaking and comprehension abilities in the chosen language which are suitable for a variety of simple social encounters.
3. To develop an appreciation of the cultural breadth of the parts of the world where the chosen language is spoken.
4. To develop an elementary understanding of the scope of literary culture in the chosen language.The Foreign Language Department offers courses in Arabic, French, German, Japanese, Latin, Russian, Shoshoni, and Spanish. Students may study several other languages on a self-paced basis (see LANG 120). The courses serve several purposes: (1) to contribute to the general education of students by imparting an awareness of foreign languages, literatures and civilizations; (2) to meet the needs of language majors and minors; (3) to prepare future teachers of French, German, Russian and Spanish; and (4) to provide language training for students whose subsequent careers require the knowledge of a foreign language.
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.
Foreign Language Placement Testing
Students who have any experience with Spanish must take the foreign language placement examination offered in Counseling and Testing (Second Floor South) in Graveley Hall prior to registering. Following completion of the exam, students may contact the Department of Foreign Languages if they need to determine the appropriate course. Students who have no experience in any foreign languages should register for the first course (i.e. GERM 101).
Admission to Major Status
To secure a major in French, German or Spanish, the student is required to complete at least 27 hours of courses numbered 300 or above, most of which are given in the respective language.
Prospective high school teachers may obtain teaching majors or minors in foreign languages. They should consult the Teacher Education Program in the College of Education concerning the requirements for certification. Foreign language majors and minors are expected to include in their programs the designated required courses and to attain a reasonable degree of fluency in the languages they have selected.
The department maintains a modern language laboratory, which includes tapes, CDs, DVDs, a record library, computers and video equipment. Its facilities are available to all language students.
General Education Requirements
Please note the following goal requirements:
Foreign Students
- For a major or minor in a foreign language, the student must fulfill both Goals 10A AND 10B.
- LANG 207, Contemporary European Culture, 3 credits, which is taught in English, fulfills Goal 10A.
- One year of Arabic, French, German, Japanese, Latin, Russian, Shoshoni or Spanish at the elementary or intermediate level fulfills Goal 10B.
Foreign students cannot apply their native language to fulfill Goal 10B (8 credits of a foreign language). Instead, their passing ENGL 101 and 102 with at least a C- average will serve the dual purpose of fulfilling Goals 1 and 10B.U.S. Students
Students who were born in the U.S. and grew up in a Spanish or other foreign language speaking home may fulfill Goal 10B by passing the 301-302 Foreign Language Conversation and Composition classes with a C or better.C.L.E.P. Credit
Students who have studied French, German or Spanish (secondary schools) or lived temporarily in a foreign country and learned the language can receive credit by C.L.E.P. examination to be applied to their transcripts with an "S" grade (16 credits maximum). Students who gain the C.L.E.P. credits will fulfill Goal 10B 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 201, or 16 credits plus SPAN 301). For further information see the department secretary. See also "Credit by Examination" under the heading "Expenses" in the Registration section of this catalog, and a description of the College Level Examination Program in the Academic Information section.Other Language Exams
Students who have studied languages other than French, German, or Spanish or have lived temporarily in a foreign country and spoken the language may take a proficiency exam developed by Brigham Young University for a number of rarely taught languages to satisfy Goal 10B. Applications for this exam may be obtained from the Department secretary.Bachelor of Arts in French, German or Spanish
