The modern languages and literatures discipline offers courses in modern languages, cultures, and literatures, which may lead to both majors and minors in French, German and Spanish, as well as a minor in Japanese. The objectives of language studies are to enable students to communicate effectively in the language of study and to understand and appreciate the cultures and values of the countries in which the language is spoken. The discipline also offers literature and culture courses in the English language for the General Education Program.
Studies in this discipline help students increase their awareness of their own values and beliefs as well as those of another culture; aid in preparing teachers for language teaching careers; provide language skills and cultural awareness to students specializing in other academic areas; enable students to meet the language requirements of graduate programs in the study of languages and comparative literature; and prepare students for various careers in an increasingly global society.
All language courses in the Spanish major are taught in Spanish, and students are expected to use Spanish in class. In addition, advanced courses require one or more formal oral presentations and papers in Spanish. Each presentation and paper is assessed with feedback to students. In the senior capstone course (SPAN 400), students are required to write a research paper in Spanish. Students certified to teach Spanish must achieve a 3.0 G.P.A. in their major or minor, including earning a 'B' or better in their senior capstone course.
