Linguistics and Teaching English to Speakers of Other Languages Minor

Chair: Jerry Cox, Modern Languages and Literatures

To satisfy the requirements for the interdisciplinary minor in Linguistics and Teaching English to Speakers of Other Languages, students must succesfully complete five or more courses from at least three different discipline prefixes (AST, CHN, ENG, LNG, etc…) to include:

A core experience,

LNG-210 General Linguistics

a second course in linguistics

and, at least three more courses from any of these five groups

Cultural Analysis

A course selected in consultation with the minor advisor that addresses the culture associated with a specific language. For example, if a student is interested in working in China then one of several courses addressing aspects of Chinese civilization or culture might be considered as appropriate; if interested in France or the French language then a course in French history could be considered suitable.
