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.

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

U.S.

and abroad.

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

France

Mexico

Spain

Peru

, and

India

. In collaboration with the Department of English, the Department co-sponsors a curriculum in World Literature that offers such courses as Masterpieces of Literature, Modern Japanese Culture, and Contemporary Latin-American Literature. Distance-learning courses are offered in Spanish, French, Hindi, and English as a Second Language. Last year the Department taught nearly 10,000 students in over 400 class sections and was awarded the Provost's Award for Teaching and Learning Excellence.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

French & Spanish with Teacher Education Option

*A list of advisees and advisors is posted outside of the main office. The Department will conduct group advising sessions at the start of each registration period. Advisors are also available throughout the academic year for individual advising.

*Come prepared with your plan of work during the group session or during an individual advising appointment. Bring a list of courses that you would like to take the following semester.

*Review the suggested sequence of courses and cycle of courses included in this booklet before you plan your schedule.

*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 Homepage 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.

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.

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.

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?

Requirements for admission to teacher education candidacy in French and Spanish:

If you are interested in earning a license to teach in the North Carolina schools (grades K - 12), the following information will be useful to you as early as your freshman year. While taking courses for your French or Spanish major, you can also take those classes necessary for a teaching license. You should obtain a copy of "Steps Into, Through, and Out of Teacher Education Programs at NC State University" from Poe Hall, room 204 as soon as possible. This informative booklet lists requirements for successful program completion.

There are two important points in the teacher education program for which you need to plan ahead: admission to teacher education candidacy and admission to the methods and student teaching courses or the Professional Semester.

1. Admission to Teacher Education Candidacy: granted after
completion of the requirements listed below:

a. successful completion of freshmen English and mathematics course requirements

b. successful completion of the Pre-Professional Skills Test (PPST) in Reading, Mathematics, and Writing of the PRAXIS Exam.

d. admission to a teacher education curriculum or the filing of a licensure plan of work

In the spring of your sophomore year you will need to take ECI 205 and ECI 205L and complete any of the above requirements not already fulfilled. During ECI 205 you must take the PPST of the Praxis exam and you may be asked to take a foreign language proficiency exam at the intermediate level. The results will be used to help you plan your future program.

At the end of your sophomore year the Coordinators of Foreign Language Education in the Foreign Language Department and the College of Education and Psychology will review your records and recommend full or provisional admission, or denial of admission to Teacher Education Candidacy. You will be notified of the status of your candidacy by a letter from the Director of Teacher Education. After full admission to candidacy, your advisor will give you the "Application Package for Admission to a Methods Course" during the Spring Semester preceding the Professional Semester.

2. Admission to the Methods and Student Teaching Courses. During your junior year you will complete the rest of the courses that need to be taken before the teaching block in the fall of your senior year. Professional courses required before the block semester (in addition to ECI 205) are:

A grade of C or better is required in all of the professional and French/Spanish major courses. The minimum GPA required for admission to the Methods and Student Teaching courses is 2.500 overall and 2.500 in the French/Spanish major.

You will receive other information as your progress toward licensure.

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,

Spain

. In addition to NC State programs, the University also considers other accredited study abroad programs for transfer credit. Ms. Ingrid Schmidt in the Study Abroad Office, 2118 Pullen Hall, is an important resource person regarding study abroad. Remember that it is important to plan early and to research carefully the numerous options available. Be sure to complete the necessary study abroad forms, especially the course pre-approval form, before you leave for your destination. Please note that only 15 hours of study abroad transfer credit may be applied toward the major in French or Spanish.

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, 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.

If you are interested in applying to law school after graduation, the pre-law advisors suggest the following:

3.   Take courses developing skills useful for law school: logic, mathematics,
      economics,history, English, philosophy, communication (public speaking,
      argumentation and advocacy)

5.   Consult:

       The Official Guide to U.S. Law Schools
       The Right Law School for You
       The Official LSAT Prepkit
       Thinking about Law School: A Minority Guide

The University Career Center offers students career counseling, on-campus interviews, a career/employer information library, access to internship listings, workshops on job-search topics including resume and cover-letter writing as well as interviewing techniques. Students should visit the center early and familiarize themselves with the resources of the center.
