Linda Gillison, Chair
Instruction is offered in the following languages and literatures:
Arabic, Chinese, French, German, Greek, Japanese, Latin, Russian and
Spanish, as well as in linguistics, foreign literatures in English
translation, and the study of foreign cultures. Undergraduate courses
have been planned to meet the needs of students who began studying
a language in high school as well as those who undertake such study
for the first time at the University.
The courses are intended to serve several purposes: (1) Contribute
to the general education of students by giving them an opportunity
to gain insight into patterns of living and thinking which are different
from their own: (2) Enable students to gain proficiency in the language;
(3) Prepare candidates for careers in research and college teaching
by providing a solid basis for graduate studies in the various languages;
(4) Prepare future teachers of foreign languages; (5) Give language
training requisite to careers in government, foreign commerce and
library work; (6) Enable students to read foreign publications and
to meet graduate foreign language requirements in their field.
A 28 position multi-media computer laboratory and a joint 40 position
language laboratory with facilities for video/audio individual and
group interaction, computerized language programs, and satellite TV
are used to supplement regular class work, and are available to give
the individual student opportunity to develop active use of the language.
Language tapes are available for individual student checkout from
Instructional Materials Service.
The Department of Foreign Languages and Literatures offers undergraduate
majors in Classics (Greek and Latin), French, German, Japanese, Russian,
and Spanish. Within the French or German major it is possible to elect
an option in linguistics. Within Classics, it is possible to elect
options in Classical Languages (Latin and Creek), Classical Civilization,
and Latin. There is an undergraduate minor in Chinese. The Master
of Arts degree is offered in French, German and Spanish. A master
degree with a concentration in classics or linguistics may be obtained
by means of the Master of Interdisciplinary Studies program.
High School Preparation: Credit is automatically granted for
Advanced Placement scores of 3, 4, or 5. At each UM Orientation, the
department offers a computerized placement/assessment examination
in French, Spanish and German (the FCAPE, SCAPE and GCAPE). Students
also can arrange individually to take the CLEP exam, administered
by the Clinical Psychology Center in French, German or Spanish.
These exams are not required, but serve one or more of three purposes:
l. Exemption from
the General Education Competency Requirement in Foreign Language:
if the student achieves a score that indicates a competence equivalent
to the completion of French, German, or Spanish 102 (second semester).
(See the General Education Requirements section of this catalog.)
2. Placement for further study in the language: the score
achieved on this test is an accurate indicator of the course level
at which language study should be resumed at the University (e.g.
102, 201, 202).
3. Credit by examination: A student with extensive language
study may score high enough on the placement exam to qualify for
University credits if she or he places into 202 or 301. By taking
the course into which she or he placed (202 or 301) and receivving
a B or better, the student may then receive four by-pass credits
(Pass grade only) for the preceding course (201or 202).
Students who elect not
to take this exam may:
l. Satisfy the
General Education Competency Requirement in Foreign Language by
successfully completing a University foreign language 102 (second
semester) course.
2. Estimate their placement level for further study by the
approximate equating of one year of high school study to one semester
of university study. Students should consult with the department
in making this estimate.
The Department of Foreign
Languages and Literatures strongly recommends that foreign language
majors take, as early as possible in their college career, Liberal
Studies 151L 152L Introduction to the Humanities, and FLLG 160L Classical
Mythology.
Foreign Study Programs. The Foreign Languages and Literatures
Department offers programs of accredited study in Austria, France,
Germany, Italy, Spain, Mexico, Japan, and Russia. Each program is
supervised by a University of Montana Foreign Languages faculty member,
and is open to any student who meets the respective foreign language
prerequisites. Details concerning individual programs are available
from the Department of Foreign Languages and Literatures. The department
also sponsors graduate student exchanges with the Universities of
Heidelberg and Burgundy, as well as work/study internships abroad
for students in French, German, and Japanese.
