Stokes, Wangari wa Nyatetu-Waigwa; Assistant Professors: Yumi Adachi, Erika Daines, Cheryl Hansen, Eva Szalay I he Department of Foreign Languages and Literatures offers courses in language, literature and culture that enable students to complete various institutional requirements. We prepare students to function effectively in a foreign language while gaining an understanding and appreciation of humanistic ideals and values. Mastery of a foreign language is the hallmark of a world citizen. A bachelor of arts degree is offered. Students may select a regular major, a teaching major or a major with a commercial emphasis in French, German or Spanish. Regular and teaching minors are offered in these three languages as well. In addition, a Japanese minor is offered, and the department participates in Asian Studies and Latin American Studies minors and in a departmental Honors Program. A language emphasis for the BIS degree requires a minimum of 18 hours, 15 of which must be upper-division course work. Courses in other languages may be offered as need and resources allow. The curriculum is based on a National Standard for measuring proficiency. Each course is designed to foster linguistic skills and to increase the students' ability to participate in the culture. Foreign Language Requirement for the Bachelor of Arts Degree The Bachelor of Arts degree will include a foreign language or ASL (American Sign Language) requirement which may be met by one of the following: 1. Documentation of a proficiency level of "Intermediate Low" or better through an examination administered by the WSU Foreign Language Department or through an examination by a recognized testing agency. 2. Completion of WSU foreign language course 2020 with a grade of "C" or higher, or comparable transfer credit. 3. Completion of any upper-division WSU foreign language course with a grade of "C" or higher, or comparable transfer credit. 4. Students for whom English is a second language may meet the B. A. foreign language requirement by verifying their proficiency in their native (non-English) language in cooperation with the Foreign Language Department and verifying their proficiency in English as a second language by either passing the ESL Exit Test or passing the ESL Special Examination. 5. Documentation of a minimum proficiency level in American Sign Language through an examination administered by the American Sign Language/Interpreting program at Salt Lake Community College (SLCC). The signer must "produce and maintain American Sign Language with continuity and precision." 6. Completion of SLCC's American Sign Language Course ASLi 1050 with a grade of "C" or higher, or comparable transfer credit. Obtaining Foreign Language Credit for Prior Language Experience Students with prior language experience may challenge foreign language courses 1010, 1020, HU2010 and 2020 by completing one of the following options: 1. Pass a course at a higher proficiency level than the course(s) challenged with a minimum grade of "C." 2. Demonstrate the appropriate proficiency level through an examination administered by the Foreign Language Department ("Novice High" for students challenging the first year and "Intermediate Low" for students challenging the second year). Upon the payment of a nominal fee, hours earned in this fashion are recorded as "credit" on the transcript and do not affect the student's GPA. The department may accept results from other foreign language testing agencies as evidence of proficiency. Application for credit is to be made at the office of the Department of Foreign Languages and Literatures.
