6 semester hours of a foreign language, the high school equivalent,

students pursuing a TESOL major. This foundation requirement is
not included in the number of credit hours needed for the major
proper. The 6 semester hours are separate from the Cultural Component.
A first language used by a major who is a non-native speaker of
English to satisfy this language requirement cannot be used as
the basis for satisfying the cultural requirement below; study
in the English language should be used for such a student or,
in the case of fluency in English, the student may request to
do the cultural component in a language other than English or
the student's native language. In the case of fluency in both
English and a native language, a student may elect to satisfy
this language requirement by a third language.

Choose one of the following four ways to fulfill this
component:
1. Foreign Language 6-8 cr. hrs.
Course work to fulfill the Cultural Component must be in one language;
test out credits must be supplemented by 3 credits at the 200
level or above. The Cultural Component requirement may be fulfilled
with course work in the same language as that required for the
Foreign Language requirement or in a different language, but additional
foreign language course work must be beyond that required for
the Bachelor of Science or Bachelor of Arts degree. Alternative
cultural component features for international students: International
students who select this major generally have learning circumstances
and career goals that differentiate them from native English speakers.
Therefore, course work in English (6-8 credits at the 200-level
or above) selected in consultation with the advisor must be used
to fulfil the cultural component. (In the case of fluency in English,
an international student may request to do the cultural component
foreign language option in a language other than English.)
