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 at (208) 282-3630. Students
who have no experience in a language should enroll in the first course
in the language (i.e. FREN 101).
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.
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.
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.
