"My students' enthusiasm challenges me to make their virtual classroom as interactive as possible - which is really what any good learning experience is all about." - Dr. Chris Michaelides, Associate Professor of Modern Languages, School of Humanities, College of Arts, Education & Sciences.

Bachelor of Arts in Modern Languages (BA)
with a concentration in French

With technological advances the gap between nations is becoming smaller and persons who are multilingual will be a targeted audience for employers everywhere. According to Career Builder, whether companies are conducting business overseas or trying to grab a larger market share at home, employers are increasingly seeking out people with the ability to speak and communicate in more than one language. In fact, a recent CareerBuilder.com keyword search turned up more than 6,000 job postings seeking bilingual applicants.

Some career fields that Modern Language majors enter are:

• Teaching
• Translation / Interpretation
• Editing / Proofreading
• Travel, Tourism, Hospitality
• Foreign Service
• International Organizations
• International Business/Law

The Modern Languages' department strives to help students who major in French develop their proficiency so that they may demonstrate the following abilities:

• Read, write, and comprehend the spoken language at the advanced level as defined by the American Council of Teachers of Foreign Languages (ACTFL). The advanced stage indicates that students should be able to narrate in the present, past, and future and can handle the communicative challenges presented by an unexpected complication in the context of a familiar situation.
• Communicate verbally at the intermediate high level as defined by ACTFL. Intermediate high indicates that students should be able to perform at the advanced level sometimes but not consistently.
• Demonstrate knowledge of the Francophone culture.
• Demonstrate the ability to read a literary text and analyze it by identifying its plot, theme, characters, structure, tone, and cultural references.

Students who have studied a language for two or more years are strongly encouraged to take a credit or placement exam before beginning their language studies at 麻豆果冻传媒. The placement exam helps students to determine which courses are most suitable to their backgrounds.
