Teacher Certification
Students interested in teaching Spanish at the high school level may
choose either a BA with a major in Spanish and the addition of
teacher certification courses, or a BS in interdisciplinary studies. The
latter requires two teaching fields. In order to certify with a BA in
Spanish, the student must meet all requirements for the BA in the
language chosen and all requirements for teacher certification as
specified by the Department of Education. Please see the Education
section of this catalog for teacher certification requirements and the
BS in interdisciplinary studies.

Please see the Course Descriptions section of this catalog. Courses
offered by the Department of Foreign Languages include those with
the following designations: FLFR, FLGE, FLLA, FLRU, FLSP.
NOTE All first-year foreign language classes require a lab. Any first-
year foreign language (FL_ 111, 112) may be used to fulfill admissions
deficiency requirements.
Foreign Language for Native Speakers
of Other Language
A special provision exists for the satisfaction of foreign language
requirements (under both the general education requirements and the
Bachelor of Arts degree requirements) by students for whom English is
a second language. Students seeking to fulfill the foreign language
requirements by the alternative means listed below must (if requested
to do so) be able to demonstrate to the chair of the Department of
Foreign Languages native (L1) proficiency in a language other than
English (not a dialect of English). The student's native language need
not be one of those offered by the Department of Foreign Languages.General Education Requirements
The requirement for "Foreign Language - 2 high school units or
6 hours" will be satisfied upon successful completion of the general
education requirement for "English - composition: ENGL 111 or
equivalent (3) and Literature (3)" for students who qualify as
non-native speakers of English (see above).
Bachelor of Arts Degree
For all Bachelor of Arts degree programs having a requirement for
"foreign language - sophomore level - 6 hours," that requirement will
be satisfied upon completion of the Bachelor of Arts requirement for
English - composition: ENGL 112 (3) and a second Literature course (3)
for students who qualify as non-native speakers of English (see above).
Under this special provision, college credit will be granted for the
English courses, but not for any ESL (English as a Second Language)
course. Students will still need to complete the prescribed number of
hours for particular degree programs (usually this will mean that a
Bachelor of Arts degree student will need an additional 12 hours of
electives to replace the 12 hours of foreign language that were
satisfied by the alternative means outlined above).
Institute of Intensive English (IIE)
The Institute of Intensive English (IIE) provides semester-long
English as a Second Language (ESL) courses at the low-intermediate,
high-intermediate and advanced levels. The IIE curriculum is designed
to prepare students for ACU credit courses and consists of grammar,
reading, composition and oral/aural communication courses at each
of the three levels (except that the oral/aural communication course
is omitted at the Advanced level).
The low-intermediate and high-intermediate blocks consist of 20 class
hours per week (the summer schedule is slightly more intensive). The
advanced ESL block consists of 15 class hours per week plus enrollment
in one regular or audit class. ESL students must enroll in all courses
included in their assigned block of courses (one of the three levels
listed) according to incoming ESL placement exam results at ACU or
incoming TOEFL scores. Students advance from their initial block by
achieving passing grades in all courses of that block. Students earning
a failing grade in even a single course of a given block must repeat
that entire block. Permission to enroll in full-time developmental and
regular credit courses is granted upon successful completion of the
advanced ESL block. A particular TOEFL score is not required for ESL
students who move from the ESL block into undergraduate courses
upon completion of the advanced level. However, students wishing
to enter graduate work must meet additional Graduate School
requirements, including a minimum TOEFL score of 550, or
computer-based score of 213.

affect the cumulative GPA.I
