DEPARTMENT OF MODERN LANGUAGES

Head: G. L. Bursill-Hall

The Department of Modern Languages will offer studies in four

languages - French, German, Russian and Spanish, Students entering from

British Columbia High Schools who have not taken the

92 11

course, in High

School must take the 100-3 course in the language before proceeding to

any other course. All students will be reauired to take a

placement

test.

At present, the Department has established honors and majors pro-

grarrrnes in linguistics in each of the languages of the Department. At a

later date, programmes in the literatures of these langua

ges

will be

introduced.

N.B. a) The honors student will be required to have a proficiency in a

second foreign lan

uage, i.e. the equivalent of 101. It is

also recommended that the honors student take Philosophy 101

and courses in history, e.g. French, German history, etc.

The attention of the student who intends to teach a modern

language at the High School level is drawn to Linguistics 426

(Applied Linguistics).

Completion of 202 should be considered qualification in a

language, i.e. this satisfies the "language" re

uirements of

other disciplines.
