RE: Calendar Revisions to World Literature Major and Honours Program

DATE:

February 10, 2012

At its meeting of April 13th, 2010, the World Literature Steering Committee approved the

creation of WL 330-4: Special Topics in World Literature.

FASSCC approved this course

creation on July 5th, 2010.

Further, at its meeting of December 1st, 2010, the World Literature Steering Committee

approved the creation of two new Directed Readings courses: WL 340-1 and WL 345-2. FASSCC

later approved these two courses on July 4th, 2011.

It was recently noted that these three courses have not yet been added to the university

calendar under the Upper Division requirements section for the World Literature Major and

Honours programs. The following document outlines the necessary calendar revisions to the

Major and Honors Upper Division requirements for the calendar.

Would you please place this proposal on the agenda for the next meeting of the Facultyof Arts

At its meetingof 10 April 2012, the Department ofPolitical Science approved the attached

calendar change forthe course prerequisites for POL 201. The details are includedin the

attached material.

The changeis intended to prunethe list of previous courses which preclude a student from taking

POL 201 for credit. POL 213 was a

predecessor courseto POL 201, but it was last offered so

long agothat POL 201 has evolved andbeenupdated sufficiently for anyreturning former

student to benefit from taking POL 201. SA 255 used to be a course that we allowed as an

alternative to the quantitative methods requirement for POL majors,but this is no longer the

case. As a result we believe that those who have taken SA 255 should now take POL 201 (or IS

240) for credit as part ofthe POL major.

Would you be kind enough placethis material on the agenda ofthe next meetingofthe Faculty

ofArts and Social Sciences Curriculum Committee?

NEW COURSE PROPOSALS

BACKGROUND:

TheSFU-Zhejiang University (ZU) Dual Degree Program (DDP) inComputing Science offers unique

opportunities for students to study and acquire degrees intwo universities. Mandarin Chinese is anessential part

of the program, providing required language skills to live and study in China.

According to the Chinese language proficiency requirement set by China'sMinistry of Education, andZU's

admission standard for international students, SFU DDP students are required to reach Level 4 on the HSK

Chinese ProficiencyTest in order to acquire a degree from ZU.

SFU students enter the DDP program from a variety ofbackgrounds, non-heritage and heritage. They exhibit a

range of Chinese proficiency, from basic beginners to fluent speakers. Therefore, twoseriesof ninecourses

have beendeveloped anddelivered in response to the distinct language learning needs of the students.

In addition, thesecourses complement andextend theexisting Chinese language courses at SFUby offering

intensive option and heritage course option.

COURSES:

Courses for non-heritage students:

CHIN 180-3 Intensive Mandarin Chinese for Beginners I

CHIN 181-3 Intensive Mandarin Chinese for Beginners II

CHIN 280-3 Intensive Mandarin Chinese for Beginners III

CHIN 281-3 Intensive Mandarin Chinese for Beginners IV

CHIN 182-3 Mandarin Chinese Conversation

Courses for heritage students:

CHIN 190-3 Heritage Mandarin Chinese I

CHIN 191-3 Heritage Mandarin Chinese II

CHIN 290-3 Heritage Mandarin Chinese III

CHIN 291-3 Heritage Mandarin Chinese IV

CHIN 180

set

courses have been offered as Special Topic courses since fall 2005. CHIN 190set courseshave

beenoffered as Special Topic courses sincefall 2007. WithSFU'scommitment to the SFU-ZU

DDP

program,

as well as thegrowing demand of Chinese courses on campus, it is timely and important to grantthesecourses

regular status.

RATIONALE for Intensive Mandarin Chinese courses for non-heritage beginners:

1. Support the SFU-ZU Dual Degree Program

In order for non-heritage SFU DDP students to be successfulin meeting the languageproficiencyrequirement

of the DDP program, anintensive learning experience is required. Students with no prior knowledge of Chinese

are required to complete the five courses listed above (altogether 15 credits) at SFUbefore theybegintheir

study at ZU. These courses provide students with a comprehensive and fast-pacedstudy experience to improve

their listening, speaking,reading and writingskillsin Chinese language in two semesters, and preparethemfor

further Chinese immersion courses at ZU.

To date, the success rate ofpassing HSK4 is 100%. Allthe SFU DDP students who have undertaken the

intensiveChinese courses have achieved the requiredChineseProficiency level, and some even reached a

higher standard.

2. Support SFU's StudyAbroad Exchange program to China

Thissuiteof courses is opento all SFU students; hence they attract students who plan to spendone or two

semesters on an exchange program in oneof SFU'spartner universities, suchas TsinghuaUniversity, Zhejiang

University orNational Taiwan Normal University. Theintensity ofthecourses provides students with the

necessary language skills andcultural knowledge, as well as over-all confidence to participate effectively inthe

exchange programin a short periodof time.

3. ExpandSFU's Chineselanguage offerings

CHIN 180,181,280,281 are the only intensive Chinese coursesoffered at SFU. CHIN 182 is the only course

on campus focusing on speaking skillfor non-heritage students. These courses complement theother Mandarin

language courses on campus, which provide non-intensive courses for beginners. Theintensive suite of courses

recognizes the clearinterests of students in fostering connection with China, and allows them to build basic

language skills quickly in order to function successfully in Chinese environments.

RATIONALE for Heritage Mandarin Chinese course:

1. Support the SFU-ZU Dual Degree Program

DDP has attracted Chinese heritage students since the very first cohort.The majority

ofthe students in this

grouphave an imbalance in theirChineselanguage skills. They have a strongverbal communication capacity,

and a very limitedknowledge ofwritten Chinese. The HeritageMandarinChinese Courses are designed for this

groupofstudentsto improve their communicative competence, especially in reading and writing. Students

achieve satisfactory results in their Chinese Proficiency Test with the help of these courses.

2. Expand SFU'sChinese language offerings

SFUhas a significantChinese heritage student population. The Heritage Mandarin Chinesecoursesmeet their

language learning needs. Therefore, the courses have had strong enrolment since they were first offered to all

SFU students in 2008. For example, all the four courses got full class (25 students) from fall 2008 to spring

2010. CHIN 290 and 291 usually have students in wait list for enrolment.

Together with the non-heritage Mandarin Chinese courses(CHIN 100-201),SFU now offers a comprehensive

array ofChinese courses for students with various ethnic backgrounds, language levels and learning

experiences.

RESOURCE:

The School ofComputing Science has committed its support for the SFU-ZU DDP program as well as these

languagecourses. A continuingfull time DDP Chinese languagelecturerposition has been created in the

School since May 2011.

RE Deletion of B-Hum designation for EXPL 145W

DATE

TIME

12:02 PM

The Explorations Program has formally re^e^dremovaroftte B-Hum

designation attached to EXPL 145W, ef^ctive Fall 2012 term."}

The programhas indicated that due to the Special Topics nature of the course,

and the change in instructors over time, the course is no longer consistently

offered with a Humanities focus, but has shifted lately to Social Science.

Rather than constrict the content with a specific B

type, the program would

prefer to focus on the W pedagogy, no matter the instructor or course content.

Based on this rationale, the University Curriculum Office approves the removal

of the B designation for EXPL 145W. The Explorations Program offers other

B-Hum and B-Soc designated courses within its course list.

FASS Associate Dean Paul Budra has approved the program's request.
