a.
Rationale for creation, revision, or
deletion:
The department would like to add a
double major option and a major/minor option to the MA in Foreign Languages and
Pedagogy (MAFLP). These options exist already in the MA in Foreign Languages
and Literatures (MAFLL), but not in the MAFLP. Many
students in or considering entering
this program have expressed the desire for such options. Increasingly, it is
important for foreign language teachers (the prime population for the FLP)
degree to have qualifications in more than one language. Adding these options
would respond directly to the students’ expressed needs. The options as
proposed for the FLP degree are modeled exactly on those existing already within
the MAFLL.
The following table describes the
existing MAFLL options and the proposed MAFLP options:
