Note:
The following requirements only specify courses offered by the Department of Languages, Philosophy, and Communication Studies. To be licensed to teach in the Utah public secondary school system, students with a teaching emphasis must also complete additional courses (approximately 29 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 1 credit from GERM 4920 may count toward the German Minor—Teaching Emphasis. In addition, courses taken for the German minor programs may not be taken on a pass/fail basis. I. German and Linguistics Courses (20 credits)
A. Required Courses (14 credits)
B. Elective Courses (6 credits)
Note:
1 Only 2 credits of GERM 4920 may count toward the German major. 2 GERM 4200 should be taken near the end of the student’s coursework. However, GERM 4200 is not offered every year. Therefore, students should check to see when the course will be offered. 3 Students desiring to apply study abroad credits toward these degrees must obtain approval form the LPSC office prior to participating. 4 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 German 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. Teaching Emphasis for German Minor
German Minor —Teaching Emphasis with Secondary School Licensure To receive secondary school licensure, students must complete the Secondary Teacher Education Program (STEP). For further information, review the Secondary Teacher Education Program (STEP) Level Outline. Secondary Teacher Education Program (STEP)-Languages, Philosophy, and Communication Studies (29 credits)
Most of the courses listed below count for both the teaching emphasis and the teaching minor.
A. Level I (first semester in program)
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. German Minor - Teaching emphasis without Secondary School Licensure (Minor 19 credits)
(2.5 GPA required in major classes) It is possible to have a teaching emphasis within a major or minor in German 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 community colleges and universities. In order to complete the German Minor—Teaching Emphasis without Secondary School Licensure, students must fulfill all of the requirements listed under Section I (German and Linguistics Courses) of the German Minor—Teaching Emphasis with Secondary School Licensure (16 credits), plus LING 4400 , for a total of 19 credits. LING 3300 is no longer required if doing non-licensure program. French, German, and Spanish Major Programs
The goal of the French, German, and Spanish BA degree programs is to prepare students to be able to take advanced studies in these languages, literatures, and cultures; to be quality teachers of these languages, literatures, and cultures in the public schools; and to provide those who may enter other professions a solid grounding in these languages, literatures, and cultures, in order that they may function as members of the international community. The curricula supporting these goals includes courses in language, literature, civilization, culture, and linguistics. See the course requirements which follow.
