French Minor—Teaching Emphasis with Secondary School Licensure (47 credits) (2.5 GPA)


Note:


The following requirements only specify courses offered by the Department of Languages, Philosophy, and Communication Studies. To be licensed to teach in Utah public secondary school system, students with a teaching emphasis must also complete additional courses (approximately 31 credits) required by the Secondary Education Program. For more information, please contact the Secondary Education Program, Education Building 330, or review the supplementary section, entitled Secondary Teacher Education Program (STEP) Level Outline .  

Students should note that only one credit of FREN 4920  may count toward the French Minor—Teaching Emphasis. In addition, courses taken for the French minor programs may not be taken on a pass/fail basis, with the exception of FREN 3030 .

I. French and Linguistics Courses (20 credits)


Note:


1 Students with foreign experience may be advised to enroll in FREN 3090  or FREN 4090 , depending upon results of a placement test and/or instructor’s determination. 

2 This course may be repeated one time for credit with different content. 

3 Only one credit of FREN 4920  may count toward the French Minor or French Minor—Teaching Emphasis.

4 Students should take FREN 4200  near the end of their coursework. Please note that FREN 4200  is offered every other year.

5 Students desiring to apply study abroad credits toward these degrees must obtain approval from the LPSC office prior to participating.

6 LING 3300  and LING 4400  must be taken during the same semester, and should be the last courses taken for the minor. These courses should be taken the Fall semester before student teaching. LING 3300  and LING 4400  are listed in both the STEP and minor requirements for those seeking the French Teaching Minor/non-licensure so the non-licensure minors understand the complete list of minor requirements. See additional non-licensure information at bottom of page.

 

Secondary Teacher Education Program (STEP)-Languages, Philosophy, and Communication Studies (27 credits)


Most of the courses listed below count for both the teaching emphasis and the teaching minor.

C. Level 3


Because student teaching requires a major commitment of time and energy, students should take only the course listed below during this semester. Students are also urged to forgo outside employment, if possible, during the student teaching experience. 

Note:


1 The Special Methods II course is taught under course number 4400.

2 LING 3300  and LING 4400  must be taken during the same semester, and should be the last courses taken for the minor. These courses should be taken the Fall semester before student teaching.  LING 3300  and LING 4400  are listed in both the STEP and minor requirements for those seeking the French/German Teaching Minor/non-licensure so the non-licensure minors understand the complete list of minor requirements. See non-licensure information below.

French Major and/or Minor—Teaching Emphasis without Secondary School Licensure (major 35 credits, minor 20 credits) (2.5 GPA)


It is possible to have a teaching emphasis within a major or minor in French without receiving Secondary School teaching licensure. However, unless the student is an elementary education major, he or she would not be able to teach in Utah public schools (nor at many private ones). Graduating without licensure may allow employment at some community colleges and universities.
