15 Proposal for a Joint BA in Linguistics and French 1. Description The Departments of Linguistics and Cognitive Science and Foreign Languages and Literature are proposing to implement a new Joint major: BA in Linguistics and Language (French). Currently the department of Linguistics and Cognitive Science offers a BS in Cognitive Science and a BA in Linguistics. The department of FLLT offers BA degrees in several foreign languages. Despite the obvious connection between the studies of linguistics and foreign languages, there are few to no students who combine these fields of study. Upon examination of the programs, it has become clear that the main issues are that a) the Linguistics degree requires a number of technical courses that are not particularly relevant to foreign language students, and b) the FLLT degree requires a number of literature courses that are not relevant to linguistics students. The requirements of each program on its own, as well as College and University requirements, and the fact that students like to include minors, has discouraged students from combining the fields of Linguistics and FLLT, for example, as a double major. Nevertheless, in recent years, a number of students have asked about the possibility of combining the two areas of study, and the time seems right to offer this as a BA degree option. Thus, the proposed BA in Linguistics and Language (French) would make it possible for students interested in both areas, and indeed their interface, to pursue this path of study. Given that the FLLT department has somewhat different course offerings for each of its languages, the Joint BA will need to be formulated specifically for the combinations of Linguistics and a specific language. The proposed degree is a combination with French as a type of test case. If this provisional program is successful, the intention would be to develop joint degrees in Linguistics and Language for other languages as well. Students graduating with a Joint BA in Linguistics and French would have a solid understanding of language and scientific approaches to its study from the perspective of linguistics and well as substantial knowledge of a specific language, in this case French. The unique additional requirement of the proposed major that students also take a year of study of another (non-indo-european language) will provide them with increased understanding of a completely different language as well as the background to pursue this language at a higher level in the future. Thus, students will gain an understanding of the complexities of language, the diversity of human languages across the globe, social and political aspects of language in general and the language of specialization in particular (i.e. French). While some language students enter the workforce after receiving their BA in an area (often business) where knowledge of the language itself is crucial, most other fields directly related to Linguistics and Languages require advanced degrees of study. Graduates of the UD program would be prepared to enter graduate school in Linguistics or a field related to Linguistics, French or French Education. 1
16 A few universities already offer a combined undergraduate degree in Linguistics and Language, however, this is currently a developing trend. As it is not yet very common, UD students with such a degree will be at the forefront of applicants for both jobs after graduation and for various graduate degree programs. The proposed program of study is primarily course-based, and so the assessment of students will take place primarily in the context of courses. It is ideal for students learning a foreign language to participate in a study abroad program as well, and their performance in such a program, as well as their proficiency in the language, in this case French, will also be assessed follow the assessment guidelines of FLLT. The success of the program will also be measured by the success of the entry of graduates into graduate and professional schools, as well as job placement. See the specific assessment plan below. 2. Rationale and Demand Compatibility with University Priorities With the general shift towards globalization, the study of languages and the underlying principles of linguistics is increasingly important. Understanding the principles of human language and linguistics enhances the learning of languages and similarities and differences among speakers of different languages. Keeping up, and in fact, being in the forefront in this area is crucial for both UD students as they move into the global community, and for UD itself, to further its role as a leader in the development of globalization at the university, national and international levels. Some of the top universities world- wide are now offering combined degrees in linguistics and language studies. This is still not a very common option, therefore adding such an option at UD would place the university in the forefront of this developing trend. Consider the following text on the website of Oxford University s Language Linguistics Program: The combination of a modern language with the ability for rigorous analysis will be popular with a wide range of employers. The Languages Work website has further information about careers using languages Recent Modern Languages and Linguistics graduates include a management consultant, a brand marketing manager, a market researcher for a company in the chemical industry, and a teacher. As mentioned above, while students can presently receive a BA degree in either a foreign language or linguistics, it is not feasible, with all of the requirements for each degree along with College and University requirements for students to major in a combination of these fields, despite the fact that this would seem to be an especially logical combination. The total number of credits required for the Joint BA would be 48, which is more than for a BA in either discipline, but fewer than the number required for two separate degrees, or a double major. The number of credits required clearly shows that this is a serious degree, but it still leaves open the possibility for students to take other courses, for 2
17 example in another language, literature or the history of the area where the language is spoken, or in another related field such as psychology, or cognitive science Planning Process There was in the past at UD a strong connection between Linguistics and FLLT, however, in more recent years, the departments have had less interaction. As a result of interests expressed during the APR procedure in the FLLT department last year, and discussions among members of both the Linguistics and Cognitive Science and FLLT Departments, it was determined that it would serve students, the departments concerned and the university to develop a joint major in Linguistics and Foreign Language. This would allow everyone concerned to be involved in moving forward in an exciting, developing area characterized by more globalization and interdisciplinary approaches to education, research and training. Members of both departments developed a program that is derived from their individual strengths and brings together a set of courses that naturally forms a coherent whole for students interested in both specific languages and the study of the structure and nature of language more generally Impact on Other UD Programs Since the proposed Joint BA will draw on courses that are already offered in the two participating departments, the impact will only be a positive one. It will offer the opportunity to students to combine their interests in languages and linguistics in an official way that it in line both with the University of Delaware s global priorities and with the exciting new trend beginning to take hold at universities in the US and around the world: combining the study of specific languages with the study of language itself, i.e. linguistics. Moreover, the proposed degree includes a unique component that is especially meaningful for both areas of study the requirement that majors take at least one year of another unrelated (i.e. non-indo-european) language such as Japanese, Chinese, Hebrew or Arabic. This will have a decidedly positive impact on these language areas by increasing enrollment, possibly leading at some time in the future to the development of majors in these areas as well. The courses needed for this new degree are already in place, so there will not be any negative impacts such as additional expenses for hiring new faculty. The new major will lead to some redistribution of students taking the various courses, but the numbers are expected to remain within the range of the existing course capacities. There will, of course, need to be a specific advising procedure developed for students with the new major since they will need to fulfill the requirements of a program that relies on classes offered by two departments. Both Linguistics and Cognitive Science and FLLT have strong advising systems already in place, and it will only be a matter of making the new requirements clear to the students and the student advisors. 3
18 Using Resources Given that the proposed Joint Major will include courses that are already in place, they will more fully use the resources present in the two departments. It is expected that specific courses will be more fully enrolled without, however, leading to over-crowding. As mentioned above, however, if there is a particularly strong enrollment in other language courses, this may lead to developing additional majors, but this is difficult to anticipate at this time. It should be noted, however, that the languages in question, Chinese, Hebrew, Arabic and Japanese, are among the most crucial languages in the global work, education and research environments. 3. Student Demand 3.1. Enrollment Projections Given the naturalness of the combination of studying linguistics and a specific foreign language, it is anticipated that the new major will at first draw from students who originally plan to major in one or the other department. With clear and strong advertisement of the new major, it is expected that it will also attract students with interests in language but who may not otherwise select either of the two departments for a major. Moreover, given that the Joint Major will be at the forefront of a growing interest in combining linguistics and languages, and we expect that it will draw excellent students to UD who are interested in this opportunity since it is not yet widely offered at other universities in the area. We thus project that over the first five years of the proposed major we will attract 5 new majors in the first year and more each subsequent year. It should be noted that this is only for students with an interest in French; if the program is successful and other foreign languages begin to offer similar Joint Majors, the combined totals are expected to be greater. In general, we expect the Joint Major to be a desirable one for many students since a number of the courses included in the program satisfy various Multicultural and Breadth requirements. For example, eight Linguistics courses satisfy the Social and Behavioral Sciences Breadth requirement; one satisfies the History and Cultural Change Breadth requirement; and one satisfies the Mathematics, Natural Sciences, and Technology Breadth requirement. Linguistics 101, Introduction to Linguistics, and Linguistics 203, Languages of the World, satisfy the University s Multicultural requirement. These are both introductory courses with high enrollments (LING 101 in particular), from which we expect to attract the majority of new majors. In addition, the College of Arts and Sciences requires a sequence of 100-level foreign languages courses, and recently, French 107, the third level of this required sequence has been included in the French Studies major. The number of credits required to completely the major, 47 or 48, will be attractive to many students since it allows them to gain in-depth knowledge about their areas of interest, while leaving open enough credits for them to fulfill College and University requirements and to explore other areas if interest both crucial to a successful and meaningful undergraduate experience. (See section 10.2 below for an explanation of the different numbers of credits.) 4
19 3.2. Meeting the Needs of Student Clienteles The Joint Major curriculum is suitable for all student clienteles. While it is expected that most students will be traditional undergraduates, it is also totally feasible for other types of students to successfully complete the degree (e.g. part-time students, currently employed professionals, non-traditional students, those preparing to reenter the job market). 4. Transferability The program is designed to be self-sufficient. It is not expected that UD students will transfer away to other institutions to complete their degrees, however, it is quite feasible for students who transfer to UD from other institutions to receive credit for previous coursework that might be considered for the degree, as is currently the case. 5. Access to Graduate and Professional Programs As mentioned above, most fields directly related to Linguistics and Languages require advanced study. Students completing the BA will be able to apply to MA or PhD programs in Linguistics or Foreign Languages anywhere in the country or the world. There are typically not stringent background requirements to enter Linguistics graduate programs, but an undergraduate degree that includes linguistics is always viewed as advantageous and will distinguish our graduates. As far as entry into graduate Language MA and PhD programs, while most applicants have strong training in the language itself, it is less common for them to have much training in linguistics. Nevertheless, an undergraduate degree that includes linguistics is in this case, too, always viewed as advantageous, and will again make our graduates stand out from the rest of the applicant pool. 6. Demand and Employment Factors Graduates with a BA in Linguistics and Language will have many different employment options open to them. Possibilities include the businesses where speaking another language is crucial, the computer industry, education and testing, translation and interpreting, language documentation, publishing and writing, lexicography (dictionaries), consulting, product naming companies, and acting or the training of actors. There are also opportunities in the military and national security. The Linguistic Society of America has a web page that discusses majoring in linguistics and the various job opportunities that are available to graduates in linguistics, at Regarding Foreign Languages, the Career Services Center at the University of Delaware provides fundamental information about various career paths for UD students, at: In addition, graduates with a BA in Linguistics and Language could enter any field that is open to college graduates in general. Employers value many of the skills that are gained in studying Linguistics and Language, such as critical thinking, the ability to organize 5
20 and categorize data, writing skills, and the ability to present and defend arguments both orally and in writing. 7. Regional, state, and national factors It is not currently possible to do a Joint Major in Linguistics and Languages at the undergraduate level elsewhere in the state of Delaware, or at any comparable universities in the region. In fact, students in this area would need to go to such universities as NYU, Boston University or UMass-Amherst for a similar degree. Otherwise, students must either select one of the two majors and possibly do a minor in the other, or do a double major. 8. Other Strengths With regard to the Linguistics component of the Joint Major, it should be noted that the Department of Linguistics and Cognitive Science and in particular the graduate program in Linguistics at the University of Delaware has long been recognized nationally and internationally. The Academic Program Review in 2009 characterized it as one of the leading programs in the U.S. Graduates of the PhD program have gone on to prestigious academic positions around the globe, and the faculty regularly publish high-quality work in the most prestigious journals. Undergraduates who major in Linguistics and Language will enjoy access to this knowledgeable faculty performing cutting-edge research. The faculty themselves teach undergraduate courses, including the very first introduction to Linguistics, LING 101. In addition, because of the strong connection between Linguistics and Cognitive Science, students majoring in Linguistics and Language would also be able to take courses in Cognitive Science and any of the disciplines that contribute to Cognitive Science. Students would be apprised of and welcome to take part in all of the activities related to Cognitive Science, including the speaker series and colloquia, and an annual student conference. Furthermore, through the FLLT department s diverse faculty and their highly regarded research, UD s global vision is enhanced. In fact, thanks to the dynamic faculty at the international level, the FLLT department as attracted impressive guests, including Nobel price winners as well as other prominent international scholars. Finally, it should be noted that the requirement that students take a year of a non-indo- European language is only possible because of the expertise of faculty members in the FLLT department who specialize in Japanese, Chinese, Hebrew and Arabic. 9. Enrollments, Admissions and Financial Aid With regard to the Languages component of the degree, students must exhibit language performance adequate for admission to 200- level language courses with a minimum grade of C- in all prerequisite language courses. Beyond this, there will be no other particular 6
21 enrollment or admission requirements, besides the general University guidelines. There are also no student expenses beyond the ordinary. 10. Curriculum Specifics 10.1 Institutional Factors The degree to be awarded is a Bachelor of Arts (BA) in Linguistics and French (other languages are expected to follow). The program will require 17 or 18 credit hours for the Language component of the degree, specifically 9 or 10 in French* and 8 in another language. In addition, students must take at least 21 credits of specified linguistics courses, and 9 more credits in advanced courses in either department to ensure more depth in at least one area of study. *The usual number is 10 in French, however, if a student places out of FREN 107 (a 4 credit course), s/he must take FREN 200 (a 3 credit course) instead. See also below. The BA is the appropriate degree for such a program, since it represents a melding of courses that contribute to two specific BA degrees: Linguistics and FLLT Description of Curriculum The courses for the proposed major are divided into those focusing on Language and those focusing on Linguistics. The departments that offer the courses are also indicated: FLLT and LGCS (Linguistics and Cognitive Science). A.

General University requirements: In addition to the 48 credit hours described above, all students must complete the following General University requirements: A scholastic average of C (GPA of 2.0) in all work taken at the University. Completion of either 90 of the first 100 credits or 30 of the last 36 credits, full- or parttime, at the University of Delaware. One incoming semester of First Year Experience (FYE) completed with a passing letter grade, or a grade of P for courses graded only Pass/Fail. The number of credits will depend on the designated FYE (see FYE website: One semester of Freshman English (ENGL 110), completed with a minimum grade of C-. Three credits of Discovery Learning Experience (DLE) completed with a passing letter grade, or a grade of P for courses graded only Pass/Fail. DLE includes experiences such as internship, service learning, in- dependent study, undergraduate research, and study abroad, which are designated DLE (see DLE website: Three credits in an approved course or courses stressing multicultural, ethnic, and/or gender related content. The purpose of the multicultural requirement is to provide students with some awareness of and sensitivity to cultural pluralism-an increasing necessity for educated persons in a diverse world. This requirement may be fulfilled through a course or courses taken to complete other course requirements, but cannot be fulfilled with any course taken on a pass/fail basis. Only course sections that are designated as multicultural in the registration booklet for a specific semester can be used to fulfill this requirement. College of Arts and Sciences Requirements: 9
24 In addition, the College of Arts and Sciences imposes its own requirements. First, the BA requires that students must complete a minimum of 124 credits composed of requirements for general education, college skills and breadth requirements, required courses in a major, and elective courses. A grade of C- is required in all major courses. No more than 45 credits with the same departmental prefix (including cross-listed courses) may be counted toward the total required for the degree. The College of Arts and Sciences also adds the following requirements to those of the University: Second Writing Requirement (minimum grade C-): A second writing course involving significant writing experience including two papers with a combined minimum of 3,000 words to be submitted for extended faculty critique of both composition and content. This course must be taken after completion of 60 credit hours. Appropriate writing courses are designated in the semester s Registration Booklet. Mathematics: One of the following four options with a minimum grade of D-: 1. OPTION ONE: MATH 113 Contemporary Mathematics (designed for students who do not intend to continue the study of mathematics) or MATH 127 Mathematics and Quantitative Reasoning. 2. OPTION TWO: MATH 114 College Mathematics and Statistics (designed for students who do not intend to continue the study of mathematics) or MATH 115 Pre-Calculus (designed for students who intend to continue the or study of mathematics) 6 or MATH OPTION THREE: Successful completion of any mathematics course at or above the 200-level except MATH 201, MATH 202, MATH 205, MATH 250, MATH 251, MATH 252, MATH 253, MATH 266, MATH 300 or MATH OPTION FOUR: Successful performance on a proficiency test in mathematics administered by the Department of Mathematical Sciences. (0 credits awarded) Foreign Language: Completion of the intermediate-level course (107 or 112 or 214) in an ancient or modern language, with a minimum grade of D-. The number of credits needed and initial placement will depend on the number of years of high school study of foreign language. Students with four or more years of high school work in a single foreign language, or who have gained proficiency in a foreign language by other means, may attempt to fulfill the requirement in that language by taking an exemption examination through the Foreign Languages and Literatures Department. COLLEGE BREADTH REQUIREMENTS: 1. Group A, Analysis and appreciation of the creative arts and humanities: Nine credits of courses representing at least two departments or appropriate instructional units. 2. Group B, The study of culture and institutions over time: Nine credits of courses representing at least two departments or appropriate instructional units. 3. Group C, Empirically based study of human beings and their environment: Nine credits of courses representing at least two departments or appropriate instructional units. 4. Group D, The study of natural phenomena through experiment or analysis: Ten credits of courses representing at least two departments or appropriate instructional units and including a minimum of one course with an associated laboratory. 10
25 If the grade earned is sufficient, a course may be applied toward more than one requirement (e.g., breadth and major requirements), but the credits are counted only once toward the total credits for graduation. If all but one course in a group has been taken in one department or program, a course cross-listed with that program will not satisfy the distribution requirement. For a complete list of the courses which fulfill breadth requirements, see complete list. As noted above, several Linguistics courses satisfy Breadth requirements. Other than this, these College requirements will be satisfied by taking courses outside of the major. 4.3 Sample Curriculum The following is a typical sequence of coursework taken by a student majoring in Linguistics, illustrating how such a student would meet the requirements for the degree: Year 1: Fall: FYE, ENGL 110, LING 101, plus College/University requirements Spring: LING 202, plus College/University requirements. Year 2: Fall: LING 203, FREN 107, plus College/University requirements Spring: LING 403, FREN 211, FREN 2xx, plus College/University requirements Year 3: Fall: LING 418, FREN 3xx, plus College/University requirements Spring: LING 480, FREN 314, plus College/University requirements. Summer: DLE (study abroad or internship). Year 4: Fall: LING 404, FREN 4xx, plus College/University requirements Spring: plus College/University requirements 4.4 Fulfillment of College and University Requirements Linguistics 101, a requirement of the major, satisfies the multicultural requirement. The Discovery Learning Experience requirement can be satisfied with a study abroad program. Furthermore, the Department of Linguistics and Cognitive Science already has several DLE options in place including internships and research assistantships (e.g. laboratory work). Depending on additional choices, various courses in Linguistics and Cognitive Science and FLLT may satisfy College and University requirements; otherwise such requirements must be filled outside the two departments. 5 Resources Available 5.1 Learning Resources Linguistics has been an active area of research for University faculty for years. Library holdings are already extensive and currently support a PhD program in Linguistics. They are more than adequate to support the proposed BA. 11
26 There are also four active laboratories, the Experimental Psycholinguistics Laboratory, run by Dr. Arild Hestvik; the Language and Cognition Laboratory, run by Dr. Anna Papafragou (Joint Psychology and Linguistics and Cognitive Science); the Phonology and Phonetics Laboratory, run by Dr. Jeffrey Heinz; and the Infant Language Laboratory, run by Dr. Roberta Golinkoff (Joint Education and Linguistics and Cognitive Science). The Syntax-Semantics Lab, run by Dr. Benjamin Bruening and Dr. Satoshi Tomioka, and the Stress Research Lab, run by Dr. Irene Vogel, do not have dedicated space, but do hold regular lab meetings. The FLLT department s Media center possesses several stations where students can practice a variety of activities and view films in many languages. Also, computer-assisted language learning provides students with opportunities for autonomy and a self-paced language learning environment. Implementing the new major will not require any additional learning resources. 5.2 Faculty/Administrative Resources The faculty in the Department of Linguistics and Cognitive Science are listed below: 1.

As mentioned above, the Linguistics and Cognitive Science Department runs a well-respected and highly ranked PhD program in Linguistics. In addition, the FLLT department offers a Masters degree in French and Spanish and many graduates have later gone on to obtain a doctoral degree. All of the resources to attract students are in place and available for the proposed BA. SEE APPENDIX for letter of support from Morris Library. (to be added) 6.2 Personnel Resources As described above, all of the courses necessary for the proposed BA are already being offered in the departments of Linguistics and Cognitive Science and FLLT. There is no need for any additional resources or new personnel. While additional faculty positions would enable the Departments to broaden the course offerings and help to support the growth of the major, they are not necessary to implement the new program at this time. 6.3 Budgetary Needs While additional funds above those already committed to the Departments would enrich 13
28 the major and help to produce a premiere program including languages beyond French, current funding is sufficient for the introduction of the major. 7 Implementation and Evaluation 7.1 Implementation Plan The proposed BA in Linguistics and Language will be implemented according to the following timeline: 1. Design of the major (Spring 2014, completed); 2. Departmental approval (both departments) (Spring 2014, completed); 3. College and University Senate committee approvals (Fall 2014/Spring 2015); 4. Provost, President, and BOT approvals (Spring 2015); 5. Preparation of materials for use in admissions and publicity (Spring 2015); 6. Enrollment of new students into the major (Fall 2015). It is possible that we will have the first graduates in the Spring of 2018 (if some students with some of their coursework already completed select the new major). 7.2 Assessment Plan The Department of Linguistics and Cognitive Science already has an approved Assessment Plan in place for the BA in Linguistics and this will also apply to the Joint Major. The mission statement, learning goals, and curriculum map can be found at: Measures include evaluation of writing and presentations in courses, as well as an exit survey administered to graduating seniors. In addition, the mission statement, learning goals, and curriculum content can for FLLT be found at: This plan can be adapted straightforwardly to the Joint BA in Linguistics and Language. The mission statement, learning goals, and assessment rubrics will be largely the same as for the BA in Linguistics. The curriculum map will be extended to the proposed Joint Major, and the exit survey will be adapted to fit the Joint Major as well. All of this will be in place by the time the BA program becomes active (Fall 2015). 14
