KATHLEEN OLSON, Ph.D., Chairperson
FACULTY: Assistant Professors: Carlos Mamani, Kathleen Olson.

Aims and Objectives:
The Department of Foreign Languages and Cultures offers the following programs: Foreign Language and Literature, Foreign Language Teaching, and Foreign Languages and International Studies in two options: A. Government and B. Business. The staff offers courses in language, literature and linguistics as well as specialized courses in terminology and practices in such fields as business, criminal justice, social services, and health sciences. Courses in political science, business and education are presented in conjunction with the respective departments. The languages offered are French, German, Spanish, Latin, Chinese and Greek.

Two state-of-the-art Language Laboratories and a computer lab are used during and outside of regular class sessions and provide opportunity for the showing of slides, films, video films and audio-taped programs, as well as direct television broadcasts via satellite. State-of-the-art computers are available for computer assisted translation and work on the Internet.

The college maintains affiliations with programs for study abroad and encourages students to spend a summer or a semester at a university in Europe, Latin America, French Canada, or worldwide.

CAREER OPPORTUNITIES:
Employment here and abroad with governmental and private agencies; multinational business; in tourism and travel industry; in communication and translation; in education on the primary and secondary level and in bilingual/bicultural agencies. Excellent preparation for graduate studies in languages, international business, law, international relations and global studies.

Foreign Language and International Studies Program

This program is available in two options: A. Government and B. Business.

  1. International Studies/Government Option:
    In an increasingly complex world, learning about the ways in which other nations live, think and conduct their affairs is of the greatest importance. In recognition of this fact, this program option is offered jointly by the Department of Foreign Languages and the Department of Political Science. Thorough study of one modern language is combined with courses in political science, geography, history, economics and the appropriate area studies. A working knowledge of a second foreign language may be acquired through electives. Internships on the state and federal level are available and recommended, as is study abroad. This program provides excellent preparation for entry level positions in government service, as well as for graduate studies in political science, international relations, intercultural/global studies and law.

  2. International Studies/Business Option:
    In recognition of the ever increasing interdependence of the economies of the nations of the world, and of the vital role of cross-cultural understanding in managing international cooperation, this program is offered in conjunction with the School of Business. The program prescribes competency in one or two modern languages including orientation in the culture of the regions where these languages are spoken and in the ways they conduct their business affairs. Internships are recommended and provide practical experience. Study abroad is also recommended. This program provides excellent preparation for entry level positions in companies doing business internationally, in government service and international agencies, and for graduate studies in business as well as public and international affairs.
     

Foreign Language and Literature Program

The literature course offerings are designed to develop the student’s appreciation of the cultural and aesthetic system of the people under study. They are supported by courses in linguistics as well as by cognate courses in philosophy, psychology, sociology, history and the arts.

CAREER OPPORTUNITIES: Graduate School, college teaching and professional translation.

Foreign Language Teaching Program

Students who plan careers as modern language teachers are encouraged to study two languages, or one language in conjunction with another subject for dual certification.

Students who wish to enter the Foreign Language Teaching Program must make this decision by the end of the first semester of their sophomore year. Due to strict Pennsylvania Certification requirements and the degree of mastery necessary to teach a foreign language, specific preparation for this profession must begin no later than the above deadline.

Majors in the Foreign Language Teaching program must take a proficiency test in the primary language during the second semester of the sophomore year. Students who do not achieve a grade of C plus or better, will be asked to change to another language program or a different major.

Special Regulations apply to native speakers of Spanish/French/German who wish to become certified to teach their native language:

Oral fluency is not considered adequate preparation to enter the teaching program. Such applicants must prove that they understand and can explain the grammatical structure of their native language and of English by passing a written test, given in the language department, with a grade of B or better. If successful, they will receive credit for FL 211 and will be accepted into the program. Applicants who test below this minimum will be advised to choose another major. The Advanced Course FL 211 is closed to native speakers of Spanish/French/German since it is geared to the needs of American students of the foreign language. Once accepted into the program, native speakers may take challenge exams in composition, conversation, civilization, literature, when appropriate, however, introductory and intermediate FL courses may not be challenged for credit.

EDCR 322 Methods of Teaching a Foreign Language substitutes for FL 399 Senior Oral for Education majors.

The regulations apply to incoming freshmen as well as all other applicants.

CAREER OPPORTUNITIES: Public and private school teaching on the secondary level. These opportunities have been increasing as more and more school districts realize the importance of improving or re-establishing their foreign language offerings. For students of Spanish, there exist additional career possibilities in agencies with Hispanic clientele, especially for graduates with some background in social work. For teaching on the college level, graduate studies are required, for which assistantships and scholarships are usually available to well-qualified applicants.

Foreign Language Minor and Proficiency Certificate (Minor)

The department grants a minor to qualified seniors upon graduation. Seniors who major in fields other than foreign languages but who have successfully passed five upper level courses plus FL 211 in one foreign language qualify for the minor. A maximum of six hours (two upper level courses) may be challenged by students entering with prior foreign language experience. The last six hours of foreign language must be taken at Gannon. Students interested in this minor should consult with the chairperson of the language department early in their academic career for advice on the sequence of courses to take and must complete an application form for a minor in the Dean’s office.

GUIDELINES FOR PLACEMENT IN FOREIGN LANGUAGE COURSES

Advisors please follow these guidelines or consult the Language Department.

All students who have studied a foreign language for a year or less in high school should take FL 111. Those who have studied one or more years of the same language in high school MUST be placed by the Language Department. Native speakers cannot fulfill requirements with FL 314 Conversation. They must substitute another FL course in its place.

PLEASE NOTE THAT STUDENTS SHOULD FULFILL THEIR LANGUAGE REQUIREMENT NO LATER THAN THE JUNIOR YEAR.
