STUDENT GUIDELINES FOR WRITING
The Handbook
serves as an introduction to departmental resources and curriculum requirements.
Please read it thoroughly and consult it frequently; it will help you to plan
for each semester and to formulate a long-range plan for graduation.
Students should also read and consult frequently the Key Points of Information. It contains the information regarding general education requirements for the College of Humanities & Social Sciences.
Students should also consult the FLL Department's home page. Follow these links - Students - Language Sections - Spanish or French.
Introduction to the Department
The Department of Foreign Languages and Literatures has been offering courses at NC State since 1896. Even a century ago, the university considered an international component to its curriculum as an essential component of the land-grant tradition.
Professor Lawrence Hinkle, Department Head from 1916-1956, wrote in 1922: "The importance of languages in education goes without question. They are of immense practical importance, to say nothing of their cultural value. Nations and people are closer today than ever before, and never has there been a greater need for mutual agreement amongst the peoples of the earth." At the beginning of a new millennium, Professor Hinkle's statement rings truer than ever.
Today, employers
seek graduates who can interact confidently and appropriately with diverse
populations. Whether preparing for a career in business, government,
law, education, human services, science, the military, or the arts, students
who develop their foreign-language skills will have a competitive edge.
To this end the Department strives to serve the interests of NC State by contributing
to its advancement in international awareness and by providing direct contact
with other cultures for the social and economic development of the citizens
of North Carolina.
The Department offers a wide variety of courses to meet students' professional
and personal needs in order to develop their language proficiency and cultural
awareness and to help them be competitive in today's global society.
The Department has a nationally and internationally recognized faculty, the
latest in multimedia classroom technology, and access to the international
community in the
The Department
offers elementary and intermediate language courses as well as advanced courses
in language, literature, conversation, composition, civilization, and specialized
courses such as Business Spanish and French Cinema. There are majors
in French and Spanish with a teacher-education option. Minors are available
in Chinese Studies, Classical Greek, Classical Studies, French, German, Italian
Studies, Japanese, Russian Studies, Spanish, and World Literature. There
are also courses offered in Arabic, Farsi, Hindi, Urdu, and English as a Second
Language. The Department sponsors study-abroad programs in
The Foreign Language Technology Center is a state of the art facility which includes a PC workstation open lab for student use, a PC/MAC workstation development area, and a PC workstation electronic classroom. Each workstation offers Internet access, word processing and spell-checking capabilities in many languages, language-specific tutorials, and software packages to supplement the Department's course offerings.
The Department encourages students to prepare themselves to become world citizens, able to thrive in the truly international environment of the new millennium. It looks forward to continuing to provide an international dimension to the students of NC State and to the citizens of North Carolina.
Why Major in a Foreign Language?
The continuous expansion of international relations makes the knowledge of foreign languages a critical need for today's professional. Students of foreign languages pursue careers not only in education, research, translating, and interpreting, but also in politics, diplomacy, banking, computer technology, software development, commerce, and journalism to name a few. The demand for multilingual personnel extends to all fields of enterprise and is continuing to grow. Students who major in foreign languages may go on to graduate school or teach or study law, medicine, or business. Many apply the cognitive, reading, and writing skills they acquire to various positions in management, public relations, administration, and government.
Academic advising
When you matriculate into the department, you will be assigned a faculty advisor. If you request a particular advisor, every effort will be made to accommodate your request. It is mandatory to meet with your advisor during the registration period. He or she will help you plan to meet requirements for graduation. We believe that a carefully planned program is crucial for success and hope that you will get to know your advisor well. Find out when he or she schedules regular office hours; your advisor may prove to be a useful resource not only during registration but throughout the year. In addition to your academic advisor, the Associate Department Head, Dr. Dudley Marchi (Room 319, Withers Hall / 515-9283 / dmm@unity.ncsu.edu), and Director of Undergraduate Advising Ms. Susan Navey-Davis (Room 321, Withers Hall / 515-9288 / navey@social.chass.ncsu.edu) are available to answer any questions you may have.
Faculty Mentor
In addition to your academic advisor who will oversee your progress towards graduation, give you your PIN, etc. you will also be assigned a faculty mentor with whom you may meet to discuss FLF or FLS courses, improving your language proficiency, research skills, post-graduation plans, study abroad, or any other questions you may have to help ensure your success as a French or a Spanish major. A list is posted outside of the FLL Main Office. It is up to students to contact their faculty mentors to set up appointments. Here is the FLL Faculty list.
Communicating With Our Advisees
We are now able to communicate with all our students through email and we post important advising information and notices from career planning. It is important that you check your unity email account frequently. Remember that all NC State students have unity accounts. Your user ID is your first initial, middle initial, and the first six letters of your last name. Your password is your social security number. Should you have any questions accessing your account, please call University Computing Services at 515-4357. Please assume your share of responsibility for advising and progress toward your degree.

Tips for Registration
*During the advising period, complete your online plan of work and contact your advisor for advising and your PIN.
*You will obtain your PIN from your advisor after you have discussed your course selection with him/her.
*Students now have access to their curriculum degree requirements and ADA (Automated Degree Report) on the World Wide Web. Go to NC State's Records and Registration StudentSection and follow the appropriate links. Before meeting with their advisors, students should access their degree requirements and ADA and do both short and long range planning. This will help to make the advising meeting more productive.
Portfolio
During the semester in which they are to graduate, all French and Spanish majors (including those with the Teacher Education Option) will submit a research paper that is representative of the student's best work. It will be placed in the student's portfolio along with a faculty report on the student's oral presentation for the seminar. The portfolio will then be read by foreign language faculty who will evaluate it for grammatical correctness, writing style, interpretive skills, and cultural knowledge. The anonymity of each student will be carefully protected in the evaluation of the papers. The results will be used to monitor our major programs and to help us define curriculum goals. These evaluations will not affect your GPA or your standing in the department.
Exit Interview
During the semester in which you are to graduate, you will be notified of an exit interview. You will be sent a questionnaire to complete. You will then make an appointment with an exit interview committee comprised of departmental faculty. The purpose of the exit interview is for the student to give feedback on his or her educational experience in the department. The information is used for our institutional effectiveness program, required for our periodic re-accreditation, and in no way affects the student's standing in the department. You will also be requested to complete a University survey.
Graduating Seniors
You must see Dr.
Marchi during the first two weeks of classes of the semester in which you
will graduate. He will verify that you have fulfilled the necessary
requirements, prepare your graduation file, and explain the procedures for
graduation and the student exit interview. The following must
first be carried out by the student:
Complete
a graduating senior survey and bring notification that you have done so. Submit:
(i) a copy of your most recent ADA; (ii) a copy of your best paper written
for an upper-level FLL class for your student portfolio; (iii). A reflective
piece on this paper - please refer the guidelines below.
The reflective piece of approximately one page [written in English] should be submitted along with the written composition. Here are some questions that this written reflection might address:
* Why did
you choose this particular paper to submit in your portfolio?
* In what way(s) is this paper representative of your best work?
* What is the background behind this composition; why did you select your
specific topic? What are your favorite topics to write about?
* What do you like best about your writing in the composition that you have
chosen? What is your favorite part?
* In what ways do you feel that your writing has improved over the past few
years?
* What do you like most about your writing in French/Spanish? What do you
like least? In what ways would you like to improve your writing?
* Who are some of your favorite French/Spanish writers? What is your favorite
writing style? What do you admire most about others’ writing?

The Department
encourages all students to participate in a study abroad experience.
NC State sponsors summer programs in Austria, France, India, Italy, Mexico,
and Peru, as well as a semester program in Santander,
The Foreign Language Computing Lab is a state of the art facility which includes PC and MAC workstations for student use, and an electronic classroom. Each workstation offers Internet access, word processing and spell-check capabilities in many languages, language-specific tutorials, and software packages to supplement the Department’s course offerings.
The Department offers minors in Chinese Studies, Classical Greek, Classical Studies, French, German, Hindi/Urdu, Italian Studies, Japanese, Russian Studies, Spanish, and World Literature; it supports related minors in International Studies and African Studies. Students receive official recognition on their transcripts for a completed minor. The language coordinators serve as advisors. The Student Services Assistant (Withers 310) will direct the student to the appropriate advisor. The student consults with the advisor to complete a "Minor Declaration Form." His/her major advisor is also consulted for approval of the minor program. It is expected that students will complete at least three required courses for each minor at NC State or through an NC State sponsored study-abroad program. During the first few weeks of the semester in which the student is to graduate, he/she must see Ms. Susan Navey-Davis to complete a final "Application for Minor" form, which is then forwarded to the student's major department.
The Department supports and promotes the study of language and culture outside the classroom through numerous clubs and honor societies. For information about activities and meetings, consult the literature outside of the departmental offices (Withers 310), and talk to the faculty advisor for the particular organization.

STUDENT GUIDELINES FOR WRITING IN THE DEPARTMENT OF FOREIGN LANGUAGES AND LITERATURES (For Formal Writing Assignments in Upper-level Courses)
1. Your paper should have a clearly defined thesis statement which you will develop throughout your essay. Avoid only plot summaries or descriptions by articulating a thesis question or research problem that you then proceed to address.
2. Your paper should include factual evidence in support of your thesis. Also incorporate examples or specific details, as appropriate. Be sure to choose your sources carefully and to cite them using appropriate footnotes and bibliographical information according to the MLA Handbook for Writers of Research Papers (available in D.H.Hill Library). An abbreviated "MLA Style Guide" can be found at http://www.newark.ohio-state.edu/~osuwrite/mla.htm.
3. The treatment of your thesis question should be based on a variety of outside references, preferably most of them in print form (published books and articles). Do not rely solely upon the WWW for your sources.
4. Your paper should be well-organized and include a title that announces your thesis, and an introduction and conclusion, as well as good paragraph structure and transitions.
5. Your paper should be clearly written in the target language with a minimum of grammatical, orthographic (including accents) and punctuation errors. Please refer to a grammar reference book and a dictionary as needed.
6. Do not rely on other people or Online translators for help; submit only your own work. Your instructor is primarily interested in seeing your own self-expression as you convey your ideas. Check with your instructor if you need assistance. (See the Scoring Scale Rubric for details.)
7. Your paper
should include a cover page and be typed double-spaced, using standard font
and margins, with all text pages numbered. Be sure to adhere to your
teacher's instructions concerning the length and content of your
paper as well as the dates when notes, drafts and final copies are due.
