Obsolete Policy
Option in Language and Linguistics (2-6825)
The Language and Linguistics option is designed for students who
desire a balanced program (language and literature, plus some focus
on written communication) which emphasizes the linguistic needs
of California students and teachers, particularly in a second language
context. This option provides background for graduate study in linguistics
and other fields, for Teaching English as a Second Language (TESL),
for language minority education, and for fields involving intensive
language acquisition and communication. (Students seeking a Secondary
Credential should complete the Language and Linguistics emphasis
of the English Education option.) Because knowledge of at least
one foreign language is usually required to obtain any advanced
degree, students seeking such a degree should also include foreign
language study in their undergraduate programs.
This option consists of 41 units total, 29 of which must be upper
division, including the following:
Lower division: ENGL 184, 250A or 250B.
Upper division: ENGL 370A or 370B, LING 329; LING 325, 327 or 363I;
three courses from ENGL 426, LING 420, 421, 426; two courses from
LING 428, 472, 475, 485, 486; one course from ENGL 300, 310, LING
460; electives to complete 41 units from courses listed and/or ENGL
499, 481, 482.
Option in Literacy and Composition (2-6826)
The Literacy and Composition option is designed for students who
desire a balanced program of composition, literature, and language
study with particular emphasis on the ways literacy is defined and
promoted in our society. This option prepares students for graduate
study in English, rhetoric and composition, literacy studies, and
for fields involving intensive writing and communications skills.
Because a knowledge of at least one foreign language is usually
required to obtain an advanced degree, students seeking such a degree
should also include foreign language study in their undergraduate
programs.
This option consists of 41 units, 33 of which must be upper division,
including the following:
Lower division: ENGL 184, 250A, 250B.
Upper division: ENGL 410, 436; one course in composition: either
ENGL 309 or 310; two courses from ENGL 435, 497, 498 (California
Writing Project), LING 329; two courses from ENGL 300, 317, 337,
405, 407, 417, 418, 419; electives to make up a total of 41 units.
Recommended additional courses, ENGL 370A, 370B, 385, 390, 421,
423, 426, 482.
