The Department of Modern Foreign Languages (DMFL) offers the B.A. degree in French and in Spanish (with or without licensure), and a Minor in French, German, and Spanish. The DMFL prepares students who intend to pursue graduate work in foreign literatures and linguistics; who are interested in being certified as foreign language teachers; and who are planning any professional career in which knowledge of foreign languages and cultures is essential or desirable.
FREN 1142 , SPAN 1152 , GERM 1162 satisfy the foreign language requirement of the General Education Curriculum (GEC). They develop functional communication skills in culture, listening, speaking, reading, and writing. They cover fundamental structures, vocabulary, pronunciation, intonation, and cross-cultural awareness. In addition to the actual classroom experience, language laboratory work may be required from all students enrolled in a foreign language course. Note: A student may not have to begin a language at the first level depending upon his or her performance on placement tests. These tests, administered at the NCCU Testing Center at the beginning of each semester, are required for any student with two or more years of a high school language wishing to continue study of that language. Students with less than two years of preparation and those wishing to begin a new language should register for either FREN 1140 , SPAN 1150 or GERM 1160 .
Teacher Education
Students who want to become French or Spanish teachers certified by the State of North Carolina must complete all the courses and requirements specified by the School of Education in addition to those of their foreign language major.
The Goals of the Teacher Education Programs
- To prepare linguistically and pedagogically competent teachers of French or Spanish for any level at which they choose to teach.
- To provide for acquisition of competencies required by accreditation agencies.
- To acquire, develop, and maintain materials and technology necessary to support the programs.
International Studies in Modern Foreign Languages
Students at NCCU may register for off-campus classes in critical languages that are not offered on our campus. Opportunities for study abroad are also available.
