Either semester. Four credits each semester. Four 1-hour class periods
and a 1-hour laboratory practice except for languages taught in the Self-Instructional
mode which have two 1-hour sessions with a native-speaking tutor and five
1-hour laboratory periods. Open only with consent of the Director.
Languages with low enrollment may be offered through the Self-Instructional
Language Program (SILP) method involving intensive, independent study on
the part of the student, supplemented by a native speaker who serves as
a drill master or monitor during
the period of study. The offering of a language course for any given
semester will depend on a sufficient number of interested students (ordinarily
at least five) and the availability of native speakers. Academic performance
in the course will be evaluated by an outside examiner who is an instructor
in the target language at another institution. When this is not feasible,
an examiner with credentials equivalent to those of an outside examiner
may be utilized. The capability of students to undertake a SILP course
of study will be determined by the Program Director, who may utilize scores
from the Modern Language Aptitude Test (MLAT). Students should plan to
devote at least as much total time to a SILP course as to any other regular
language course. |
