Modern Languages 2001-2002 Faculty: Aures (German), Belyavski-Frank (Russian), Chiba (Japanese), Coulont-Henderson(Acting Chair Spring 2002; French), Curry (Spanish, Italian), Dziubinskyj (Spanish), Elman (Spanish), Evans (French), Hernandez (French), Harris (Spanish), Itoh (Japanese), Klaus (French), Lee (Spanish), Luque-Eckrich (Spanish), Pollack-Milgate (German), J. Rambo (Chair; Spanish, Portuguese); Adjunct: L. Chiang (Chinese), A. Rambo (Spanish), Vernikov (Russian).
Majors are offered in French, German, Spanish, and Romance Languages (a combination of French and Spanish). Minors are offered in Chinese, French, German, Japanese, Russian, and Spanish. Language courses are offered for the major and minor in Asian Studies and Russian Studies and for the minors in Latin American and Caribbean Studies and International Business. Transfer students are not accepted as majors until they have completed at least one course at the 200 level or above at DePauw.
The department encourages all majors and minors to spend at least one semester in an approved off-campus program in the country of the target language. Students may apply credit from these programs to their major or minor as follows: two courses per semester may count toward the major, but only one course taken off-campus may count toward a minor. The International Center may assist students in locating an appropriate off- campus study program. See descriptions of programs in Section V, Off-campus Studies.
Placement beyond or successful completion of the two-semester elementary level fulfills Group 5 of DePauw's graduation requirements. Successful completion of the first semester alone of the elementary level fulfills one half of Group 5. In French and Spanish, successful completion of the "Review of Elementary" course (FREN 110, SPAN 140) fulfills all of Group 5 in a single semester.
International students who are native speakers of any language other than English and who are degree candidates will be judged to have already satisfied the Group 5 requirement.
Many of the 300-400 level courses in the department are offered in alternate years. The choice of appropriate courses should be determined in consultation with the major or minor adviser.
The Modern Languages Department has been designated a dual subject department. A student who graduates with 31 courses may take 15 courses in the department (up to 12 in the major language).
All language students are encouraged to use the Instructional Media Services facilities in the lower level of Roy O. West Library.
Placement and retroactive credit policies: Students who enter DePauw with previous experience in a language are assigned to the appropriate level by a required placement examination administered on campus. They may not continue their study of the language at a lower level than the assigned one, but may move up in level if they wish. In no case may a student with more than two years of foreign language study in high school (grades 9-12) start at the beginning level in the same language. If assigned to the second-semester intermediate level or higher, students will receive extra credit on completion of that course with a grade of C or better, according to the following patterns. (See special regulations for heritage speakers of these languages.)
Chinese: CHIN 262 = one course credit extra; one full credit of CHIN 361 (i.e., two semesters @ ½ course each) = two course credits extra.
French: FREN 202 = one course credit extra; FREN 300+ = two course credits extra.
German: GER 212 = one course credit extra; GER 300+ = two course credits extra.

Special regulations for heritage speakers: Heritage speakers (those U. S. residents who speak the language within their families) are not eligible to take certain courses given in their languages within the department. Heritage speakers of Spanish or French may take no course below the level of SPAN 332 or FREN 315; they may major or minor in their language, under special rules (see the appropriate sections under these language headings). Heritage speakers of other languages taught in the department should consult with faculty in those areas and with the department chair, before registering for any courses in their language.
