Graduate Courses for Reading Knowledge

GRADUATE STUDENTS-Satisfy your Foreign Language

Proficiency Requirement with:


SPANISH for GRADUATE STUDENTS

Offered SUMMER 2009 - First Session (June 3-July 7, 2009) and

FRENCH and GERMAN for GRADUATE STUDENTS

Also Offered SUMMER 2009 - First Session (June 3-July 7, 2009)

Course description: 5370/71 are two-semester summer intensive courses that will be offered during the 2009 summer session-SPA in Summer I, and FRE and GER also in Summer I. Students will learn the essentials of pronunciation, vocabulary, and grammar to enable them to read and comprehend scholarly writings in that language related to their areas of specialization.

Completion of both courses and a grade of "B," or higher, in the second class (SPA, GER, FRE 5371) will satisfy the requirement for reading knowledge in a foreign language for most degree programs at Baylor University. (Note: Check your degree program to determine if this method is valid for you. If taking the Reading Examination is required by your degree program, you may still take the course as preparation.)

Dates and Times: SPA 5370 and 5371 will be taught concurrently during the first summer session, June 3-July 7, 2009, from 8:00-9:30 and from 9:40-11:10 a.m., Monday through Friday. FRE 5370 and 5371 and GER 5370 and 5371 will, this year, also be taught during the first summer session at the same times. Students will need to register for both 5370 and 5371. Please get a registration permit from Administrative Associate Ann Westbrook or Amy Maddox at Ext. 3711. Registration is possible until the first day of class.

Enrollment is limited. NO AUDITS. No prerequisites. No prior knowledge of Spanish, German, or French is necessary.
