In recognition of their dedication to improving the lives of low-income children, youth, and families, this bursary promotes post-secondary accessibility by supporting inner-city, Aboriginal, new immigrant and refugee students with financial need. The Opportunity Fund was created at The University of Winnipeg under Dr. Axworthy s leadership, to help make it possible for students to dream big. The goal is to ensure access to a university education, bridge the graduation gap, and transform lives through education. The priority for this funding is direct education costs (tuition and books), however the Opportunity Fund will also consider covering critical needs beyond tuition and books when required. This Fund is designed to assist Aboriginal students, people from waraffected nations and refugee populations, and students from inner-city neighbourhoods. Recipients must demonstrate financial need and come from one of these under-represented populations. This Fund supports multiple programs including in-course bursaries, tuition credits, and youth-in-care waivers. APPLICATION PROCESS: According to The University of Winnipeg Office of Awards and Financial Aid. SELECTION PROCESS: Selection will conform to The University of Winnipeg Senate s Condition of Eligibility for Awards. Student enrolment status is as determined by The University of Winnipeg Senate. The Selection Committee will be determined by The University of Winnipeg Awards and Financial Aid Office. ADMINISTRATION OF FUND: A gift is made by the Foundation each year to The University to be used by The University. In the event the gift is not used in any given year, the University may either hold the amount available for expenditure in the subsequent year or alternatively return the amount to the Foundation, in which case the amount returned shall be added to the contributed capital of the fund. The contributed capital of the Fund will be invested according to the Foundation s investment policy, as amended from time to time on a pooled basis with other endowment funds held by the Foundation. Contributions to this Fund may also be accepted from donors other than the primary donor who established the Fund.

10 AgendaItem#552b) MEMORANDUM TO: FROM: RE: Members of Senate Academic Planning Committee Revision to the Regulation for the Minor Area of Study DATE: October 16, 2014 In January, 2012, Senate approved the creation of the Minor area of study as an additional credential that a student could claim at the point of graduation. The understanding was that the Minor was only to be available to those graduating with a 4-Year Degree (BA, BSc, or BBA). Concerns have been raised by students and faculty about that restriction; it is relatively easy to complete requirements for a Minor while fulfilling the Major and General Degree requirements of the 3-year and Honours degrees, and recipients of those degrees would also like the opportunity for recognition of a Minor. Part of the intent of the Minor was to add something unique to the 4- Year Degree in order to encourage more students to enroll in a 4-year program. However, the Committee is of the view that, in light of our desire for increased flexibility in educational pathways, this opportunity to pursue a Minor should not be withheld from students pursuing other degree programs. The Academic Planning Committee thus proposes the following motion: That the Minor area of study be available to students in any 3-year, 4-year, or Honours program at the University. All other aspects of the administration of the Minor would remain the same as already approved. This motion does not affect the Teachable Minors within the Bachelor of Education program.

REQUIREMENTS FOR A 4-YEAR BA IN MODERN LANGUAGES ADMISSION REQUIREMENT Students must consult with the Department Advisor in planning their studies. GRADUATION REQUIREMENT 120 credit hours Page 1 of 9 Page 11 of 46

12 RESIDENCE REQUIREMENT Degree: Major: Minimum 60 credit hours Minimum 30 credit hours GENERAL DEGREE REQUIREMENT Humanities: 12 credit hours Science: 6 credit hours Social Science: 12 credit hours Writing: Minimum 3 credit hours of Academic Writing. Maximum Introductory Courses: Students may use a maximum of 42 credit hours at the 1000 level. Of these, a maximum of 6 credit hours may be below the 1000 level. Distribution: Minimum three (3) credit hours from each of five (5) different subjects. MAJOR REQUIREMENT Single Major: 60 credit hours in two different languages and related courses, distributed as follows: Prescribed courses: 30 credit hours in a main language and its culture and literature, to be selected from FREN, GERM, or SPAN, with a minimum of 6 credit hours at the 3000-level or higher. Exception: FREN-1001 may not be counted as a main language credit. 12 credit hours in an additional language, to be selected from: FREN, GERM, ITAL, or SPAN language. Exception: FREN-1001 may not be counted as an additional language credit.

It aims to educate students in two modern languages other than English: a main language in which they are expected to attain advanced competence, and one other language in which they are expected to attain at least the intermediate level. In addition, students intercultural competence is developed through the study of the cultures and literatures of their chosen languages, and students theoretical knowledge of language in general is developed through the study of interdisciplinary linguistics. The degree requirements are equivalent to a 3-year BA in French Studies, German Page 2 of 9 Page 12 of 46

13 Studies or Spanish Studies, plus further courses in one other language, in related cultures and literatures, and in linguistics, so as to meet the requirements of a 4-year BA. Only French, German, or Spanish can be selected as the main language, because course offerings in the other languages are not extensive enough. The additional language may be selected from any of the modern languages offered at the University of Winnipeg, i.e. those offered by Modern Languages & Literatures (FREN, GERM, ITAL, SPAN), East Asian Languages and Cultures (EALC), and Indigenous Studies (IS). Suggested progression: Year 1: 6 credit hours in the main language (French, German, or Spanish) 6 credit hours in the additional language 6 credit hours for LING-1001 Intro to Linguistics 12 credit hours in general degree requirements and electives Year 2: 12 credit hours in the main language 6 credit hours in the additional language 6 credit hours in further courses in Linguistics and/or the selected languages 6 credit hours in general degree requirements and electives Year 3: 6 credit hours in the main language (third-year level) 6 credit hours in further courses in Linguistics and/or the selected languages 18 credit hours in electives Year 4: 6 credit hours in the main language (third-year level or Honours) 24 credit hours in the chosen languages, Linguistics, and/or electives c) Describe options for specialization within this program (minor, concentration, stream): As indicated, for the main language, students could choose from French, German, or Spanish. For the additional language, students could choose from those languages as well as Italian, Japanese, Chinese, Korean, Cree, and Ojibwe. d) List new courses (title, credit hours) that would be introduced in conjunction with the proposed program (in an appendix, please provide a complete list and description of new and current courses). n/a e) Describe admissions policies or specific criteria for students (e.g. GPA requirements, prerequisites, language requirements or work experience). There are no specific admissions policies and no graduation criteria other than those described in the Calendar description. Students must consult with the Department Advisor in planning their program. f) Would there be particular provisions to recognize prior learning of students and grant credit for skills/knowledge? YES NO Provide Details: No university credit will be granted for prior learning of a language, unless it is transfer credit from another post-secondary institution. However, students with prior knowledge of a second language will be assessed for placement in courses appropriate to their level of competence, which may mean they start at a higher level. g) Would the program have a cooperative education, work placement, internship or practicum component? YES NO Provide Details: Page 3 of 9 Page 13 of 46

14 h) Other information relevant to this program: If more languages become available at the University, we could add them as possible choices for the additional language. III. Post-Secondary System Alignment a) Have you investigated similar programs offered in Canada (excluding Manitoba)? YES NO If YES, list programs, institutions and credentials offered: Bishops University: BA in Modern Languages Brock University: BA Combined Major in Comparative Literatures and Cultures Laurentian University: 4-year BA in Modern Languages and Literatures Mount Allison University: BA in Modern Languages, Literatures, and Cultures Univ. of Saskatchewan: 3-year and 4-year BA in Modern Languages b) Have you investigated similar programs offered in Manitoba (If YES, list programs, institutions and credentials offered)? YES NO none c) How will this program fill a need in the Province? Although all the Manitoba universities, as well as Red River College, offer programs in specific languages, none of them offer the opportunity to specialize in two languages, with the option of adding up to six credit hours in a third language, and to receive a BA credential that indicates knowledge and expertise in modern languages generally. None of them combine languages, literatures and cultures together with interdisciplinary linguistics into a single degree program, for which students would also have the freedom to choose what languages and cultures they study according to their interests and backgrounds. d) Describe how this program fits into your institution s vision and future planning. Over the last decade or so, students have slowly been shifting their focus toward more applied fields of study. Historically, programs in French, German, Spanish, etc. were focused primarily on literary studies as the goal of language studies, and because they are still often perceived in this way, they are labelled as "impractical." By contrast, we believe in offering, as part of a genuine education in the humanities, an integrated program of language-culture-literature from the beginning of a student's studies. Applied language studies, which many students find attractive for practical and career reasons, can and must include deep knowledge of the cultural context of the languages in question. This is confirmed by translators, language teachers and others whose professions focus on languages. Therefore we have designed a program that meets students' desire to study languages, while at the same time immersing them in the cultural and theoretical aspects that are indispensible components of true universitylevel language study. e) What impact would the proposed program have on current programming? We hope that more students would begin and continue language, literature and culture studies, not only in French (often perceived primarily as an advantage for job seeking), but also in other languages. The departments involved have the capacity to teach more students in our fields. f) Would this program be offered jointly with another institution? YES NO If YES, name institution and describe joint aspects: g) What are the student mobility opportunities for students (e.g. credit transfer, articulation agreements, laddering)? Please describe: The University of Winnipeg grants transfer credit for equivalent courses in languages, Page 4 of 9 Page 14 of 46

15 cultures, literatures and linguistics taken at other post-secondary institutions. If students have taken a post-secondary-level course in a language not offered at the UW, or not offered at a certain level at the UW, it would be possible to grant transfer credit with a notation that the credit may be applied to the requirements for the Modern Languages degree. IV. Labour Market Alignment Recognizing that universities and colleges play an important role in developing a skilled workforce for Manitoba, COPSE s program approval process seeks to ensure that new programs are relevant to the provincial labour market. For program proposals which are designed to address a defined labour market need or to provide trained graduates for specific professions, it is expected that the labour market information provided would be clear and comprehensive; examples of sources of such information is provided below. It is recognized that post-secondary also plays a role in providing programs that enable students to pursue advanced educational opportunities or provide skills and outcomes which, although of value to the province, do not have a clear or well-defined career outcome. For those programs that train or educate for broader employment opportunities or further education, the following section should be completed with the best available data and outcome possibilities for these graduates. a) What is the current and projected labour market demand in Manitoba for graduates of this program? Include formal reports such as from Associations, Statistics Canada, Sector Councils, Industry or Regulators. A degree in Modern Languages will meet the labour market s need for well-educated, linguistically skilled, and culturally aware communicators who are capable of using languages other than English in a variety of work settings, including business, government, social services, and teaching. Graduates of the program will be qualified for further specialised training as professional translators and interpreters. b) What are probable employers, sectors/fields or further educational opportunities? In the city of Winnipeg as well as in regions of Manitoba with newcomer, francophone, and First Nations populations, jobs for skilled and culturally aware non-english-language communicators exist in businesses with international connections, government services, immigration and settlement services, tourism, education, and translation services in e.g. health care and the legal system. Persons with language skills are also needed by NGOs based in Manitoba but active abroad. Further educational opportunities for holders of a BA in Modern Languages include post-baccalaureate certification in Education, training and certification for translation/interpretation in the chosen languages, and graduate study in languages, literatures and linguistics. V. Student Need/Demand a) What populations would the program intend to target? Few students declare their major in their first or even second year of study. We expect that most students will begin by pursuing studies in their main and perhaps additional language, and then later decide to pursue a four-year degree in Modern Languages. In other words, potential majors will emerge from the approximately 400 students who take courses in French, German or Spanish in their first year, or the approximately 100 students taking the other languages listed above. Based on information gathered from a survey in 2013, we expect Modern Language majors to have a wide range of educational and career goals, while at the same time sharing a strong interest in languages per se and in applications of their language skills to mainly non-academic professions and careers. Many potentially interested students may already be bilingual. Page 5 of 9 Page 15 of 46

16 b) What is the student demand for the program? Include student consultation results. In the fall of 2013, we invited students in language, literature and linguistics courses to participate in an online survey. Posters in our area also publicised the survey and invited potentially interested students to take it. The Final Report on the survey is appended, along with an executive summary. Of the 36 students who responded, 30 said they would be interested in majoring in this program, and 34 said they would be interested in majoring in this program if they were starting their studies now. Eighteen were in a BA program, seven were majoring in Arts subjects in the B.Ed. Integrated program, five were in a B.Sc. program, three were in Business Admin, one in pre-professional Architecture, and two were still undecided. Nine respondents were currently majoring in a modern language (six in French, two in German, one in both) and two in Linguistics. The rest were majoring in a wide variety of fields, often in more than one. Almost all the students (34) reported that they had studied at least one modern language in school, usually French. At university, the vast majority (31) already had studied at least one language. Career goals that students thought a degree in Modern Languages would help them to meet (numbers indicate how many students mentioned that goal): 9 Better career opportunities in general Careers in: 7 Business 4 Translation and interpretation 3 Teaching 3 Government 2 Immigration and settlement services 2 Tourism and hospitality 2 Academia 1 International development work 1 Health care 1 Armed Forces 1 Aviation Other goals: 2 Further education 2 Learning languages as a goal in itself 1 Personal travel c) What is the projected enrollment for the first intake? Headcount Full Time Equivalent* 5 3 * Full Time Equivalent for: College is 180 training days; University is a full-time course load or a part-time course load divided by 3.5. d) What is the projected enrollment upon program maturation (i.e. in three years time)? Headcount Full Time Equivalent 10 7 e) What is the maximum seat capacity? First-year courses in French (not including FREN-1001) have a capacity of about 200, in Spanish about 100, in German about 50, and in the other languages about 30. Introduction to Linguistics can accommodate 50. Second-year courses in French have a capacity of about 100, in Spanish 60, in German 30, and in the other languages up to 25. Third-year courses in French, Spanish, and German have a capacity of up to 25. If demand for second- and third-year courses increased, we would raise caps and add more sections. f) Would the program be available to part-time students? YES NO g) Would the program offer flexible delivery options for students (e.g. blended learning, online, distance etc.)? YES NO Page 6 of 9 Page 16 of 46

17 Provide details regarding delivery method and proportion of course available via these options: h) What student supports would be available to those enrolled in the program? Include specific supports available for under-represented groups. Language labs, which are actually weekly oral practice classes with a native speaker as leader, are regularly scheduled components of all language courses. Students experiencing difficulties with language learning can receive extra help from their instructors and can be referred to a tutor. All of the University's general supports for under-represented students and for those experiencing academic difficulties would be available to our students as well. VI.

33 9. What career goals do you think a degree in Modern Languages Literatures would help you to meet? # Response 1. Translation, linguistic, phd (teaching) 2. Translation, Anthropology, Academia. Anything really, it's an undergrad Arts degree. 3. It would help a great deal with international business situations and open up many new opportunities in general. 4. Immigration policy and settlement services work 5. Being multilingual allows you to access many people and attain an understanding in their native tongue what exactly they want to express as not all things can be translated into English; this would be immensely useful for a future health care professional (i.e. nurses and physicians) as they would be able to understand a much larger range of people. This makes sense in Canada since we are such a diverse nation. :) 6. Translation, interpretation, tourism industry, hospitality 7. Not much for my particular goals. It might be helpful if I wanted to go to a foreign school, but it wouldn't directly be part of accomplishing my career goals. 8. I have had an interest in languages since as long as I can remember and was disappointed when this degree was not already an option. 9. Learn a new language, learn about literature. 10. International business and trade. 11. Translator, international business job... knowing many languages is beneficial in many different careers, especially considering the diverse culture of Winnipeg and Canada. 12. It would be of interest to a career that allows you to travel abroad and learn about different cultures. 13. I'm in the Faculty of Education and my minor is french. So i'm not overly sure how much this degree in Modern Languages Literature would help me. Sure taking language classes would be very helpful, just as i'm doing with french. I just do not know how I would be able to do this whole degree. For people doing journalism and translating... this would be perfect for them! And for teaching yes it's good to have languages, i just wouldn't be able to do it all. 14. Government posts, 15. More job availability for teaching 16. I think it would definitely help me with my future career in International Development by giving me more job opportunities. A degree in Modern Languages Literature would help me become relatively fluent in two other languages, and by doing so it would give the opportunity to be able to work in any countries that use said languages. 17. it would provide a useful set of tools in a multicultural city such as Winnipeg 18. First and foremost, knowing a second or third language other than English gives one a better chance and opportunity of fitting and adapting into the culture of other people,will help one communicate with others better and have a better chance of getting a better job. 19. A degree in Modern Languages or Literature would allow me to work in countries around the world. This type of degree would also help travel become easier when language barriers are a problem. As well, learning even a few languages increases your likelihood of learning more in the future with ease. 20. I am pursuing a career in the Canadian Armed Forces and bilingualism is required for all the trades. Having fluent in more would certainly help me with my career as opportunity to be place or train in a different country, and also meeting people from different background are very common for any job in the Armed Forces. Page 33 of 46

34 21. Be multilingual to travel the world and converse with people in different languages 22. Government career requirements touristy 23. Useful if looking for a job with the government 24. more opportunity, international advantages in the business world. 25. Education overseas Working with immigrants 26. It would help in working abroad or for companies that are based in more than one country. 27. I would like to become a international pilot. Knowing many languages would help to get a job in the many different areas of the world that aviation has expanded to. I believe this degree would be very beneficial for myself! 28. I would be able to work in many different places around the world. Being able to communicate and understand different people would allow you to be better in business. 29. This would help a career in business. It would definitely give a person unique skills in the business world. Page 34 of 46

35 February 5, Dr. Linda Dietrick Assoc. Prof of German Studies Chair, Department of Modern Languages and Literatures University of Winnipeg Winnipeg, MB R3B 2E9 Canada Dear Linda, Thank you for sharing your department s proposal for a new 4-year Bachelor of Arts Program in Modern Languages. It is clear to us that the intent of the program is to educate students in at least two modern languages in which they are expected to attain high competency. In addition, students intercultural competence and knowledge about these cultures is developed as well as the theoretical knowledge of language in general. We consider these to be very useful and important goals. Our agency, Manitoba Interfaith Immigration Council, assists people from many cultural and linguistic communities every day. In our work, cultural sensitivity and a practical knowledge of languages other than English are skills we greatly value in those we employ. However, it is very difficult in Manitoba at the present time to obtain proper training for language interpreters. Therefore, we are very happy to support the introduction of this new degree program as we see its great potential. On behalf of MIIC- Welcome Place, Sincerely, Marta Kalita Manager, Settlement Department Page 35 of 46

36 New BA Modern Languages Page 1 of 1 New BA Modern Languages Jean Pierre Parenty [jp.parenty@prtranslation.com] Sent: March :05 PM To: Linda Dietrick Cc: Sylvie Albert Good day Linda, Congratulations on your new program. I think it is brilliant. Multilingualism is a very sought after skill in the labour force today. In the translation industry, we have seen an 15% increase in demand for translation worldwide for the past twenty years. And, I expect that increase to continue at 15% or more for at least 10 more years. Where does it all come from? Globalization of course. With the world shrinking and everyone is going to sell their widgets or their services around the world. Once they get there, the first thing they realize is a, Oh, we have to communicate with these people. Our company has been helping people immigrate to Winnipeg for the past ten years because there just isn t enough high quality bilingual people in Western Canada. Some of our workforce comes from Latin America, Europe, Asia and Africa. Many Winnipeg companies are competing on the world stage today and they all need bilingual staff to help them do it well. Your statement of intent talks about: 1. Many potential interested students may already be bilingual. 2. Graduates of the program will be qualified for further specialized training as professional translators and interpreters. In my experience, for someone to be able to follow translation training (4 year university degree) they must first be fully bilingual (someone who grew up learning two languages from a very young age). To expect anyone who is not already highly bilingual to one day become a translator is unrealistic. So, I think your program is perfect for anyone who wants to become fluently bilingual (or multilingual) to be able to work in two or three languages. Anyone who s interest and abilities are of translator level, will probably not need the program you are proposing. Please let me know if there is anything else I can do.

37 Linda Dietrick From: Sent: To: Cc: Subject: Jeannine Roy Sunday, March 02, :01 PM Linda Dietrick Monica Ruiz RE: Consultation on proposed new BA program Dear Linda, Thank you for your message. I generally support the introduction of the proposed program, a new 4-year Bachelor of Arts program in Modern Languages, due to the nature of my field of work. WRHA Language Access currently has a team of 75 interpreters and from time to time we recruit additional interpreters for specific languages. Based on the description of the program that you provided, it seems that graduates with a 4-year Bachelor of Arts in Modern Languages might have an enhanced capacity to meet our recruitment criteria. Sincerely, Jeannine Roy, Manager/Directrice Language Access/Accès linguistique Winnipeg Regional Health Authority/Office régional de la santé de Winnipeg 425 Elgin Ave Winnipeg (Manitoba) R3A 1P2 Ph./Tél. : Fax/Téléc. : jproy@wrha.mb.ca From: Linda Dietrick [mailto:l.dietrick@uwinnipeg.ca] Sent: Friday, January 24, :19 PM To: Jeannine Roy Cc: Monica Ruiz Subject: Consultation on proposed new BA program Dear Jeannine, Our department, the Department of Modern Languages & Literatures at the University of Winnipeg, has developed a proposal for a new 4-year Bachelor of Arts program in Modern Languages. It is intended as a new option for students who are interested in languages and who want a credential that indicates their skill in more than one modern language other than English. 1 Page 37 of 46
