Graduate Courses for Reading Knowledge

GRADUATE STUDENTS—Satisfy your Foreign Language
Proficiency Requirement with:

 
FRENCH FOR GRADUATE STUDENTS--SUMMER ONE—June 4--July 9,
OR SUMMER TWO--July 11–August 14, 2013

and GERMAN FOR GRADUATE STUDENTS Offered… SUMMER TWO—July 11-August 14, 2013

(Spanish may be offered in Summer One, 2013, provided there is sufficient demand.)

***

Course description: 5370/71, are two-semester summer intensive courses that will be offered during the first and second summer sessions—two sections of FRE, one each in Summer I and again in II, and one section of GER Summer II, only.  Students will learn the essentials of pronunciation, vocabulary, and grammar to enable them to read and comprehend scholarly writings in German or French that are specific to their areas of specialization.

 
Completion of both courses (taught concurrently) and a grade of “B,” or higher, in the second class (GER, FRE 5371) will satisfy the requirement for reading knowledge in a foreign language for most of those degree programs at Baylor University that have a foreign language proficiency requirement.  (Note:  Check your degree program to determine if this method is valid for you.  If taking an Oral and a Reading Examination as required by your degree program, you may still take the courses as preparation for the reading portion of the exam.)
 
Dates and Times: FRE 5370 and 5371 will be taught concurrently during the first summer session June 4-July 9, 2012, from 8:00-9:30 and 9:45-11:15 a.m., Monday through Friday.   An additional section of FRE 5370 and 5371 will, this year, be offered during the second summer session—July 11-August 14, 8:00-9:30 and 9:45-11:15. GER 5370 and 5371, also taught concurrently, will be offered at these same hours during the second summer session only.
 
Students will need to register for both 5370 and 5371.  Please obtain a registration permit from Administrative Associate Ann Westbrook or Heather Turner at 710-3711.  Registration is possible until the first day of class.
 
Enrollment is limited. NO AUDITS.  No prerequisites.  No prior knowledge of German or French is necessary.
