(See the Interdisciplinary Programs section of this catalog.) FOREIGN LANGUAGE COURSES Oral Proficiency Requirements The American Council on the Teaching of Foreign Languages (ACTFL) has denned a scale for the evaluation of the language proficiency of students. The ACTFL Proficiency scale has four levels: Novice, Intermediate, Advanced and Superior. The Department of Foreign Languages requires that students achieve a determined proficiency level, depending on the students' goals. In addition, instructors assume that students entering any class have acquired the entry-level proficiency indicated for that class. (These levels are indicated in parentheses following the description of each course on the following pages: N=Novice; NH=Novice High; IL=Intermediate Low; IM=Intermediate Mid; IH=Intermediate High.) Novice (N) Students at this level have no experience in the language they are studying. They begin by learning the sound and spelling system and by memorizing words and phrases. During the course, they will progress to the point of being able to create simple sentences, to ask some questions, and to initiate, sustain and conclude simple social tasks more than half of the time. Novice High (NH) At the Novice-High level students progress from the ability to respond simply with learned utterances to the ability to create language face-to-face, to ask and answer simple questions, and to create sentence-level constructions. Intermediate Low (IL) At the Intermediate-Low level students continue to build mastery of personal social-oriented informational tasks and move to a higher level by practicing informational tasks beyond the immediate and personal. Students will move from simple-sentence to more complex sentence-level discourse. They will practice narration, description and comparison but mastery is not expected. Intermediate Mid (IM) Students at this level build on an ability to perform informational tasks beyond immediate and personal needs while they continue to practice narration, description and comparison. In addition, students begin practice in supporting opinions and hypothesizing in the language. They move from complex sentence-level structures to paragraph-level discourse. Intermediate High (IH) At this level students can function at the Advanced level most of the time. They still need practice narrating, describing and comparing, and Linking sentences together smoothly. In addition, they encounter more tasks that require them to support opinion and to hypothesize. Students progress from complex sentences to paragraphs to extended discourse. Lower Division Courses FL 1000. Proficiency Development (1-2) (Cr/NCr) (N) Non-graded courses for entry-level students to augment foreign language instruction in stress-free activities such as reading children's literature, learning and performing skits, folk dancing, singing, cooking, etc. May be repeated for credit under different titles. FL 1010. First Year I (4) (N) Introductory course assuming no significant previous experience with the language. FL 1020. First Year II (4) (N) Continuation of 1010.
