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.
The minor consists of 24 credits of
core and elective coursework, including foreign language competency at the
102 level.
Core Requirements:
Eight credits of the 101-102 sequence of Latin (Lat)

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 School of Education 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 School of Education.
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):
Cdis 262 Phonetics: Theory and
Application
Engl 125 English Grammar and Usage

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.)

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.

NOTE 1: As a requirement for the
TESOL Minor, all students must pass Engl 110 and the UW-Eau Claire English
Competency Examination. Oral proficiency in English will be determined by
an interview and/or a SPEAK Test, a test of oral proficiency for
non-native speakers of English. Students not passing the competency test
or the oral proficiency test will be required, before retesting, to take
CJ 202, Engl 140, and/or an English composition class. The student will
select classes in consultation with the TESOL adviser.

MINOR:
TOPICAL MINOR, Liberal
Arts (Code 610-401)
A Topical Minor is composed of 24
semester credits selected by the student to meet the student’s own
interests and scholarly objectives. Courses for the minor may be chosen on
the basis of a coherent theme, a historical period, a definable
professional need, or complementary relation to the student’s major.
The Topical Minor is not intended to
be used to duplicate any major or minor offered as a regular program
within the UW System.
The Topical Minor must include
courses from at least two departments, with no more than 15 credits from
any one department and no more than six credits from the department of the
student’s major. Courses included in the major cannot be applied to the
minor. At least 12 of the 24 credits 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 schools, school admission
requirements will likely have to be met or written permission obtained
from the Dean of that school before enrollment will be possible.
