LATIN AMERICAN STUDIES MAJORS
By pursuing a
broad yet in-depth course of study, Latin American Studies majors are well
equipped to enter many fields and occupations as teachers in the United
States or Latin America, as business people sensitized to Latin American
history and culture, or as journalists or government employees where
contact with Latin America or Latin Americans in the United States is
important. Those subsequently receiving professional degrees (e.g., in law
or medicine) also could benefit from the background provided by the Latin
American Studies major.
The spectrum
of courses within the multidisciplinary curriculum of Latin American
Studies provides students with the knowledge and skills to meet the
academic goals of the university while preparing them to become engaged in
activities relevant to Latin America and Latino communities in the United
States. Majors develop language proficiency in Spanish and have a broad
range of courses from which to choose in art history, economics, foreign
languages, history, and political science. The major is well suited for
students who plan to:
(1) pursue
careers which require residence in or knowledge of Latin America (e.g.,
business, journalism, government, NGOs, travel industry);
(2) teach
Spanish in Early Childhood through Adolescence classrooms; and/or
(3) pursue
graduate work in Latin American studies or other disciplines where a Latin
American specialization would be helpful (e.g., Hispanic literature,
political science, economics, history, art history).

MINOR: ANCIENT STUDIES, Liberal Arts (Code
310-401)
The minor in Ancient Studies touches
upon almost every field of human inquiry: language, literature, history,
politics, religion, medicine, and science, to note only a few of the
broader disciplines. Students taking courses to fulfill this minor will
pursue the following specific goals: (1) to enhance their appreciation and
understanding of ancient languages, cultures, and their own heritage; (2)
to develop students’ critical thinking abilities via language acquisition
(study of grammar, translation, and interpretation), text analysis,
historical perspective, and study of the influence of ancient
civilizations upon subsequent periods; (3) to pursue an option within the
undergraduate experience which allows one to explore in a systematic way
the fundamental building blocks and materials of a liberal education and,
thereby, highlight UW-Eau Claire’s goals as a liberal arts institution;
(4) to develop an interdisciplinary approach to these fields of study and
to discover, by study of their origins, an apprehension of the underlying
reasons and methods of discourse and institutions of the western world;
(5) to see ourselves in perspective, to become more enlightened citizens,
and to think more deeply about the human condition and important issues in
our lives—based on the bedrock of the earliest approaches, which impacted
all subsequent ones, to such questions.

MINOR: TEACHING
ENGLISH AS A FOREIGN LANGUAGE, Liberal
Arts (Code 550-406)
Teaching English as a Foreign
Language (TEFL) is the instruction of English to speakers of other
languages (e.g., Japanese, Portuguese, Russian, or Spanish, etc.) while
the instructor is living outside of the United States. EFL instructors can
work for private language schools, public and private elementary, middle,
or high schools, and universities abroad. English is the language of
instruction, but it does help if the teacher knows something of the
language of that culture. Individuals who obtain either a TEFL minor (24
credits) or TEFL certificate (14 credits) may go abroad with the Peace
Corps, on a Fulbright Exchange, or on their own teaching adventure.
The TEFL Minor Program is in the
College of Arts and Sciences in the Department of Foreign Languages. It
serves students with majors outside the College of Education and Human
Sciences and those who are not seeking State of Wisconsin initial
certification. Majors fields are quite far-ranging because of the demand
for specialized knowledge in the field of TEFL, such as History, Business,
Biology, Anthropology, Geology, Nursing, Religious Studies.
The TEFL Minor Program differs from
the Teaching of English to Speakers of Other Languages (TESOL) Minor in
five ways. First, the TESOL Minor and the TEFL Minor have differing
methods and practicum courses. Second, the TEFL Minor allows for elective
credits to prepare the individual for instruction in a specific country
and in English for Specific Purposes (ESP), while the TESOL Minor has
specific State requirements that prescribe only certain courses. Third,
the TESOL Minor will continue to offer the State of Wisconsin add-on
license in TESOL; whereas the TEFL Minor will not prepare students for ESL
instruction in the United States. Fourth, the TEFL Minor would serve
diverse majors, and does not require admission to the College of Education
and Human Sciences. Finally, these minors would have slightly different
numbers of credits (TESOL 25/TEFL 24).
Twenty-four semester credits,
including:
Required courses (minimum of
20 credits):
CSD 262 Phonetics: Theory and Application
Engl 125 English Grammar and Usage or
Engl 221 The English Language
Psyc 378 The Psychology of Language
Anth 315 Language in Culture and Society or
Anth 351 Cross-Cultural Dynamics or
CJ 301 Intercultural Communications
Flg 378 Second Language Acquisition
CI 409 TEFL Methods
Flg 400 Assessment of English Language Learners
CI 493 International Experience in Education or
Flg 375 Internship Experience
Elective Courses — minimum of
four credits, unless CI 493 is taken for more than one credit or Flg 375
is taken for three or more credits. The electives listed below are some of
the choices available to TEFL Minors, however, students will be allowed to
choose elective courses which will benefit them in their future TEFL
instruction. (See TEFL adviser for other acceptable electives.)
Engl 201 Advanced College Writing
Psyc 260 Educational Psychology
Bcom 206 Business Writing
CJ 202 Fundamentals of Speech
Edmt 285 Computers in Education: Introduction
Pols 260 Introduction to Comparative Politics
Pols 265 Problems of Developing Nations
For advising, see Professor K. M.
Reynolds (HHH-374) Foreign Languages.
CERTIFICATE PROGRAM
Even though the TEFL Certificate and
Minor are highly similar, the Teaching English as a Foreign Language
Certificate program has a minimum of 14 credits, which would mirror the
TEFL Minor (24 credits) in a reduced manner. It is offered as an option
for those who do not have the time to complete the TEFL Minor within their
existing programs, or for non-traditional students returning to campus for
this program only, so that they may be prepared for an overseas transfer,
for example. Individuals debating between the Certificate and the Minor
should consider the depth of learning and the time commitment, if a minor
is necessary for the program of study selected, and other life choices,
e.g., whether it is for one’s career, or to allow a short duration of work
in another country.
Required courses (minimum of
14 credits):
CSD 262 Phonetics: Theory and
Practice
Engl 125 English Grammar and Usage or
Engl 221 The English Language
Flg 378 Second Language Acquisition
CI 409 TEFL Methods
Flg 400 Assessment of English Language Learners

must be earned in courses numbered 300 or above, and at least 15 of the 24
credits must be earned in Arts and Sciences courses.
Procedures. The student must first obtain a Topical
Minor form from the College office (Schofield 134), plan the minor in
consultation with an appropriate faculty adviser, and obtain the adviser’s
approval. The plan for the minor must then be submitted to the Associate
Dean. The Associate Dean’s approval must be obtained after the student has
earned a total of 60 credits, but before the student has earned 88 credits
toward a degree.
Students proposing a Topical Minor are responsible to
ascertain that they are eligible to register for the courses included in
their Topical Minor. They must meet, for example, all individual course
prerequisites and GPA requirements or have received explicit permission
from the department offering the course. In addition, for courses offered
in one of the professional colleges, college admission requirements will
likely have to be met or written permission obtained from the Dean of that
College before enrollment will be possible.
