INTRODUCTION
The Department of Modern Languages and Literatures offers a wide diversity of programs of language, cultural studies, linguistics, literature, and teacher education aimed at meeting the varying needs of today's students.

In our changing world, we must lower barriers to understanding. Communicating effectively in a foreign language is not simply an exercise in the acquisition of linguistic skills. In learning another language, we also gain insight into the thinking of another culture (often very different from our own); insights which afford us the perspective necessary to examine critically our own cultural values. In our department, we view language, culture, linguistics and literature as integrally related facets of the complex phenomenon of human communication which help us better understand ourselves, each other, our values, and our roles in a changing multicultural world.

Our department has well-established baccalaureate programs in French, German, Japanese and Spanish, and master's programs in French, German and Spanish. Additionally, we offer training for the California secondary credential program in Spanish, French, German, and Japanese, a post baccalaureate program leading to a Certificate in Teaching English to Speakers of Other Languages (TESOL) and an M.S. in Education with a concentration in Teaching English to Speakers of Other Languages (TESOL). In addition to our degree and certificate programs, we offer minors in French, German, Japanese, Portuguese and Spanish. Course work is also offered in Arabic, Chinese, Italian, Korean, Latin, Persian, and Vietnamese.

Students interested in developing language and cultural competencies find a variety of programs in Modern Languages and Literatures. Programs are designed for those who wish to pursue more advanced studies of language and literatures, as well as for the growing number of individuals who will find ability to communicate in other languages and sensitivity to other cultures important components in career preparation in the United States and abroad. Our programs are designed for those planning careers in education, government, social services, translation services, assessment, literature and the expanding areas of international business.

Our goal is to assist students in developing competence in other languages through teaching the majority of our courses in the target language. We strive to deepen students' knowledge about language and the humanities through various means-reading representative authors in their respective literatures, familiarizing students with the cultural traditions of the peoples whose language they study, and expanding students' knowledge of linguistics and socio-cultural context. As a department engaged in service learning, many of our majors apply their growing knowledge of languages and cultures to real community contexts.

SPECIAL PROGRAM INFORMATION
International Programs
The Department of Modern Languages and Literatures encourages students to participate in a study program abroad. Such programs facilitate student mastery of the language and offer numerous cultural insights. The California State University's International Programs offer a wide variety of study opportunities at the junior, senior, and graduate level. Language exchange programs are also available with Fudan University (China), the University of Paris (France), including international business courses and internships through Paris 9-Dauphine, the Autonomous University of Guadalajara (Mexico), and the University of Nanzan (Japan). Approved internships for the B.A. in International Business are available at the School of Business, Management, and Economics in Nürtingen (Germany). Language majors are required to complete the following minimum number of units in their major on campus before departure for, or upon return from, overseas: six units of upper-division coursework at CSUF, of which at least three units must be at the 400 level.

Language Concentration for International Business
The Department of Modern Languages and Literatures offers language concentrations in Chinese, French, German, Japanese, Portuguese and Spanish. This component of the B.A. in International Business consists of 15 units of upper-division language study (including an internship). These courses, as well as the prerequisites, must be completed with a grade of "C" (2.0) or better. For description of the international business program, please see the "International Business" section of this catalog.

FLAIR (Foreign Language Alliance Intra-Regional Program) Concurrent Enrollment for French and German M.A. Programs
The French and German faculty at CSU Fullerton and CSU Long Beach have established a cooperative arrangement that permits graduate students enrolled at either campus to take courses concurrently at the other campus.
Benefits to students are considerable. With prior approval by the graduate adviser, coursework at either campus may be applicable to the M.A. degree. A greater selection of courses and faculty enriches graduate study and may shorten the time required to complete the degree. Cooperative scheduling ensures that time conflicts and travel time are minimized.

Garden Grove
The department offers several languages at the CSUF Garden Grove Center. For more information, contact the main office at (714) 278-3534.

The CSU/UCLA Cooperative Program in Modern Languages and Literatures
The Cooperative Program in Modern Languages and Literatures gives students the opportunity (without additional fees) to take courses in foreign languages not available on this campus or any neighboring CSU campus, but offered at UCLA. For information regarding enrollment and qualifications, interested students should inquire at the department office.

The Language Laboratory
Students enrolled in a variety of modern language courses may be required, in addition to the regular class periods, to complete assignments in the department's language laboratory. The 18-station audio laboratory operates like a library; students may use it at a time most convenient to them, preferably daily, in sessions of 15 to 30 minutes.

A 24-station computer laboratory featuring multimedia interactive capabilities facilitates both individual and group learning activities in conjunction with a networked instructor station.

Advisers
Undergraduate: All faculty members serve as advisers. Students may check at the department office to determine their assigned faculty adviser.

Foreign Language Teacher Education: Linda Andersen, Hèléne Domon, Janet Eyring, Reyes Fidalgo, Sandra Perez-Linggi, Setsue Shibata, Marjorie Tussing, and Pilar Valero-Costa.

Graduate: Hèléne Domon (M.A. in French), Marjorie Tussing (M.A. in German), Lydia Velez (M.A. in Spanish), and Juan Carlos Gallego (M.S. in Education TESOL).

M.S. TESOL and TESOL Certificate: Nathan Carr, Janet Eyring, Juan Carlos Gallego, Marjorie Tussing, and Cheryl Zimmerman.

Upper-Division Writing Requirement
Modern Language (MLNG) 301 satisfies the course portion of the upper-division writing requirement for all foreign language majors.

Academic Standards Requirement
Each course counted to fulfill requirements for the major or minor must be completed with a grade of "C" (2.0) or better.

Advanced Placement
Students should enroll at the point in the sequence of courses for which their previous study and/or experience has prepared them. Students with no language background should enroll in fundamental 101-level courses. Normally, two years of high school language study are considered to be equivalent to one year of college language. Students just completing two years of high school language should begin at 200-level intermediate courses. A minimum of four years of high school language, or its equivalent, is considered a prerequisite for more advanced 300-level major work.

Courses at the 101 level are not open to students who have completed two or more years of high school study or one term of college study in that language unless such study was completed three years or more before entering the class. Courses at the 102 level are not open to students who have completed two or more years of high school study or two terms of college study in that language unless such study was completed two years or more before entering the class. Language courses at the 100 level are not open to native speakers of that language.

Due to the sequential nature of language instruction, consultation with an adviser in the Department of Modern Languages and Literatures is essential before enrolling in courses.

International Baccalaureate Program
Students entering the university with the International Baccalaureate shall request an oral interview with two instructors of the target language. Subject to their recommendation, the following credit may be awarded:

Students with the International Baccalaureate Higher Level Language Exam with a grade of four or better will have lower-division requirements waived, and upon recommendation will receive three to twelve units of upper-division language credit.

Students with the International Baccalaureate Subsidiary Level Language B Exam with a grade of four or better will have lower-division requirements waived, and upon recommendation will receive up to six units of upper-division language credit. If no upper-division units are recommended, a minimum of six units of 200-level credit will be awarded.

Transfer Students
In accordance with university rules, all transfer students must complete 30 units in residence at Cal State Fullerton. Of these 30 units, the transfer student majoring in French, German, Japanese or Spanish is required to complete 12 upper-division units, i.e., 300- or 400-level courses, including nine units of 400-level classes in the major on the Cal State Fullerton campus. The specific courses will be determined in consultation with the student's adviser.

Unit Requirements
Each foreign language bachelor's degree requires a minimum of 120 units which includes courses for the major, General Education, all University requirements and free electives.
