Linguistics and Teaching English to Speakers of Other Languages Minor

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.
