Modern Languages and Literatures

Courses offered by the Department of Modern Languages and Literatures include French, German, Spanish, Japanese and Linguistics. Linguistics, and most culture courses are offered in English. Students can also benefit from our study-abroad programs in France, Germany, Spain and Japan. The courses offered in each of these disciplines, as well as the Majors, Minors and Honours programs available, are outlined under each discipline heading. An interdisciplinary Major and Honours in Modern Languages, Literatures and Cultures are also offered, as outlined in this section.

Students who plan to specialize in one or more languages by electing a Minor, Major, or Honours program should declare their specialization to the Registrar's Office by the end of their first year of University studies. They should also visit the program advisor in the Department of Modern Languages and Literatures before registering for second year, since most programs require the advisor's approval of optional courses.

PLACEMENT

Beginning language courses (GERM 1001, SPAN 1101, and JAPA 1001) are designed for students who either have never studied the language previously or have had minimal experience with the language. All students with high school, post-secondary, or non-academic exposure to these languages must consult with the program advisor for that language about placement and may be asked to write a diagnostic placement test if the level of competence in the language cannot be readily established. The results of the consultation and testing will be used to place the students in the proper course level.

Placement of students in their first French course will be decided on the basis of a French Language Skills Assessment given by the Department. All students who have not studied French at Mount Allison previously must complete this assessment before registering for a course in French. The Skills Assessment is available on-line through the Department of Modern Languages and Literatures web site. Alternatively, a paper copy may be obtained by mail or fax from the Secretary of the Department of Modern Languages and Literatures. Students completing Majors, Minors, or Honours programs in French should be aware that any exemptions from 1/2000 level courses obtained through the placement process must be replaced on their programs by credits in French at the 3000-4000 levels.

For all language courses offered in the Department, if within the first seven class hours it becomes apparent that the initial placement was inappropriate, the student or the instructor may request a meeting with the Department Head to discuss the appropriateness of the student moving to a higher or lower level.

Note: No student can receive credit for a language course which is a prerequisite for a course for which they have already received credit by placement or by previous course work.

FRENCH STUDIES

Mount Allison offers an extensive French Studies program, within the Department of Modern Languages and Literatures, with a variety of language, literature and culture courses which increase the students' awareness of the French and French-Canadian identities while developing their ability to function in the second language. To this end, all language and literature courses are taught in French.

The courses at the first and second year levels provide the opportunity to establish a sound foundation in oral and written French. The study of grammar at these levels is reinforced by practice in the language laboratory or tutorial groups. Several of the courses at the 3000 and 4000 levels are specifically intended to refine the students' command of spoken and written French, while the other courses deal with the various areas of French and French-Canadian literatures and cultures as well as the theories of literary criticism. A series of prizes are awarded each year to students who distinguish themselves in French Studies.

The Department sponsors other programs and activities which support and enrich the course program:

Le Cercle français
Guest speakers
Tintamarre, a bilingual theatrical troupe
La Maison française (a French-language residence)
Study Abroad Program at Université de Strasbourg, France
Certificate of Bilingualism (see Section H under Degrees and Certificates)

Language of Instruction and Assignments

Most courses in the French curriculum are generally delivered in French alone, and all assignments, both oral and written, are to be completed in French. FREN 2801 (Cinéma du monde francophone), however, offers students the option of completing written work in English. The following culture courses are delivered in English alone: FREN 1801, FREN 1811, FREN 2841.

Minimum standard in French for certain courses

While there is no course prerequisite for FREN 2801, there is a minimum standard of competency in French required for admission to the course. Anyone wishing to register in FREN 2801 must complete a French Skills Assessment at (see previous section on Placement) and demonstrate a knowledge of French equivalent to completion of FREN 1711 (placement in FREN 2401). In the case of FREN 3841 permission of the Department in lieu of the normal prerequisite (FREN 2601) will be granted only to advanced students in other disciplines who demonstrate a knowledge of French equivalent to completion of FREN 2501, i.e. placement in a 3000 or 4000 language class.

The German language is spoken by approximately 120 million people in Germany, Austria, Switzerland, Luxembourg and Liechtenstein, and by more than one million Canadians. German is one of the official languages of the European Union and is the second most widely used foreign language in Europe, including Eastern Europe.

German language courses are designed to impart a good working knowledge of German. Students will also gain insight into the culture and mode of life of the German-speaking countries. In addition, as experience shows, students of foreign languages generally show significant improvement in their primary language skills.

German literature is rich and varied. The program places particular emphasis on representative authors and movements in order to provide students access to the literary tradition as a whole. The literature courses also aim to provide a strong complement to the available language courses.

Language of Instruction

All courses in the German Studies curriculum are taught in German unless indicated otherwise by a note.

HISPANIC STUDIES

Spanish is one of the most widely spoken languages of the western world and is an official language of the United Nations' Organization. Canada's interest in the Spanish-speaking world is reflected in organizations such as CIDA, CUSO, WUSC and the Canadian Association of Latin American Studies.

Courses in Spanish, offered within the Department of Modern Languages and Literatures, offer the student a two-fold goal: the first, to learn to speak, understand, read and write this important language - particular attention is directed towards the students' achieving oral-aural proficiency, both in class and in the language laboratory; the second, to become familiar with the culture of the Hispanic world through study of its literary and artistic works. Prizes are offered by the Department for excellence in Spanish Studies.

The study of Spanish can be very important in preparing for a career in the diplomatic corps, various international agencies, teaching, translation, journalism, publishing, and commercial and cultural relations between Canada and Spanish-speaking countries.

The Department supports other programs and activities which enrich the course program. These include Club Hispanico, a film series, Casa Hispana (the Spanish-language section of the language house, when there is sufficient interest) and the possibilities of study in Spain and in Central or South America.

Language of Instruction

LINGUISTICS

Like other inquiries which are central to human experience, language has long been the focus of intellectual examination. Speculation on the nature of language appears in the works of Plato, Aristotle and other Greek philosophers. Although a number of disciplines, from literary studies to computer science, share the study of language with linguistics, the focus of linguistics is the scientific study of language. Linguists are interested in how human language is organized in the human mind and in how the social structures of human communities shape language to their own purposes, reflecting themselves in language use.

LINGUISTICS COURSES

Note: Students must obtain a grade of at least C- in all courses used to fulfill prerequisite requirements. Otherwise, written permission of the appropriate Department or Program Co-ordinator must be obtained.
