Program Description

The Department of Modern Languages and Literatures at Cal State Hayward offers courses of study leading to a Bachelor of Arts degree with majors in French and Spanish. Academic Minors are offered in French, German, Italian, Portuguese, Russian, Sign Language, and Spanish. Elementary courses are offered also in Filipino, Japanese, Latin, Mandarin, and Vietnamese. All programs have been designed to provide students with the cultural understanding and the academic knowledge necessary for future pursuits in the teaching of foreign languages and literatures or for graduate work in the same fields. Students may utilize other languages and literatures offered in the department as part of a Special Major in various area studies.

A Bachelor of Arts degree major in International Studies is administered through the Department of Political Science. The International Studies major consists of an integrated group of courses reflecting international aspects of various disciplines and requires intermediate level competency in a modern language. It is designed to provide the student with a broad base of understanding of the interrelationship of the world community, while at the same time providing the opportunity to specialize in an area of interest. An International Studies minor is also offered. See the listing under International Studies for further details.

With the growing involvement of the United States in international business and the increasingly multicultural character of American society itself, the importance of foreign languages in nearly every kind of occupation is considerable. The majors in foreign languages and literatures, therefore, may lead to teaching careers and represent direct, practical assets in other fields such as business, industry and commerce, civil service, law, library science, media, science, health services, social work, travel, and tourism.

Career Opportunities

Features

The department faculty come from a wide variety of national and academic backgrounds and have traveled extensively in the countries whose languages they are teaching. Slides, films, dramatic performances, potluck dinners and other activities provide the opportunity for students to interact with one another and with their professors. For those who wish to further their interest in a foreign culture and language, the Department of Modern Languages and Literatures offers clubs. Foreign Language Clubs include the French Club, the German Club, the Tomodachi Club (Japanese Cultural Club), and the Spanish Language Club.

For those who wish to accelerate their learning of another language, the department offers a Summer quarter intensive program in Spanish which covers one year's work in one quarter and yields twelve units of credit. The language laboratory is another useful feature of the department. In the laboratory students can listen to tapes which help improve their pronunciation, fluency, and comprehension. In addition, students are encouraged to take advantage of the California State University International Programs. They can take courses in a variety of universities abroad and apply them towards a degree at Cal State Hayward.

Preparation

For students to enroll at the proper level of language instruction, the department recommends the following guideline: one year of high school foreign language instruction equals one quarter of Cal State Hayward instruction. Students are expected not to repeat credit already earned in high school unless significant time has passed since the initial instruction. The department offers placement exams to facilitate student placement. Students should contact the department before enrolling in a lower division language class.

Students in foreign language majors, minors, and options may have lower division language requirements waived for those courses below the level at which they enroll.

Advanced Placement
A student who has successfully completed the advanced placement course in a foreign language or literature in high school and has a score of 3 or better on the Advanced Placement Examination will receive 8-12 units of credit equivalent to two or three courses of a foreign language as listed below.

If you have completed the French Language examination with a score of 3 or better, you will receive 12 units of credit equivalent to MLL 2101, 2102, and 2103. If you have completed the French Literature examination with a score of 3 or better, you will receive 8 units of credit equivalent to MLL 3106 and 3108. If you have completed the German Language examination with a score of 3 or better, you will receive 12 units of credit equivalent to MLL 2201, 2202, and 2203. If you have completed the Spanish Language examination with a score of 3 or better, you will receive 12 units of credit equivalent to MLL 2401, 2402, and 2403. If you have completed the Spanish Literature examination with a score of 3 or better, you will receive 8 units of credit equivalent to MLL 3400 and 4455.
