The Department of Culture and Language Studies welcomes students of all disciplines to participate in the quest for cultural and media literacy and multilingual communication.

Globalization, democratization, technology and post‐colonial forces continue to powerfully shape our increasingly complex and interconnected world, requiring each one of us to respond to new challenges and opportunities by increasing our understanding of diverse cultures, by exploring, engaging with and developing skills in established and emerging media, through academic and practical study of music and film, and by our competence in foreign languages.

The Department of Culture and Language Studies houses a variety of specialists in languages, literatures, arts media and cultures. We are dedicated to the teaching of cultural literacy, which can best be achieved through the long‐term development of linguistic competence and the study of literary and social texts. In the spirit of diversity and understanding, we are committed to our students, to the exploration of innovative teaching and research modes that draw upon common interests among our languages and disciplines, and to the strengthening of our links to the greater academic community and the community at large.

GENERAL INFORMATION

Language Acquisition

Students can choose between two programs: German and German Studies. “German” is the language stream and “German Studies” is the area studies. The Undergraduate Advisor of the German unit will assist students interested in German/German Studies to select the program best suited for them.

GERMAN

The focus of this program is language acquisition, even though students will also take content courses offered in English. It is suited for students who are eager to express themselves in German and who enjoy learning languages.

GERMAN STUDIES

The focus of this program is on a wide variety of perspectives related to all things German, even though students will take two introductory German courses to get elementary exposure to the German language.

Students with no previous experience of German will normally enroll in GER1001 / 1002 . GER 1033 is also a first‐year course requiring no previous knowledge of German, and is designed primarily to help students to read German texts in their particular fields of interest. The total sequence of language courses aims at reaching a level of proficiency that would enable a


3 | P a g e

student to be linguistically competent in a German‐speaking environment. Intermediate German GER 2001 and GER 2002 and the second year German language courses and complete the foundation level. GER 3011 , GER 3023 , GER 4013 , GER 4023 provide greater degrees of proficiency and specialization in oral and written expression. Advanced level courses classes are conducted in German to help students achieve oral fluency.

Literature and Culture

Students who are not primarily drawn to German language courses, but who still retain a lively interest in the German contribution to Western civilization, may take one of several literature or culture courses in which texts and instruction are in English, and for which no knowledge of German is required. These courses focus on various writers, movements, and aspects of German literature, culture, or film. They typically are organized around theme or problem and aim to familiarize students with literary and cultural masterpieces within their historical context.

PROGRAMS OF STUDY:

Interested students should consult the undergraduate advisor for German before November 30 of the year prior to the time of departure.

Certificate of Proficiency in German

The goal of this program is to provide students with an internationally recognized language certificate in German. Upon successful completion of their examination students will have achieved the language prerequisite to study at universities in a German‐speaking country. Required are normally the completion of the language course sequence (GER 1001, 1002, 2001, 2002, 3011, 3023, 4013, 4023) or equivalent, plus a comprehensive examination at a regional examination centre.

The Certificate of Proficiency in German is open to UNB degree students only and will be awarded by the University through the Registrar's Office. The student's transcript will bear a separate entry, showing that the Certificate has been awarded.

STUDY IN GERMANY

A student who attends language or literature courses either at one of the Goethe Institutes in the Federal Republic of Germany or at a university in a German‐speaking country will be awarded up to 12 ch upon departmental recommendation. Students attending the Canadian Summer School in Germany may be awarded up to 6 ch upon departmental recommendation. Students who participate in the Work‐and‐Study program (Werkstudentenprogramm) may receive 3 advanced‐level ch, subject to a departmental evaluation upon return.

For further information on a variety of other summer language programs, consult the undergraduate advisor for German. For a description of study abroad programs (summer term and full year) consult the Departmental website.

Certificate of Applied German Studies

The goal of this certificate is to attach recognition to the practical application of German Studies that occurs, for instance, in a wide range of extracurricular contexts such as film series, cultural events and immersion weekends; in the participation in studies abroad* in a German speaking country; in the participation of the Berlin Travel Study program; and in special class projects and German society projects.

The Certificate in Applied German Studies emphasises the connection between academic and professional worlds. It does this by emphasising the training of competences and skills such as generating ideas, text production, intercultural literacy, creative, and pedagogical skills in specific task sets. Such competences are, for example, needed by publishers, text producers in media and advertising, cultural managers, communication instructors, academics, teachers of German as a foreign language, adult education teachers etc. The ability to convert language into text and to plan language for a variety of media and events is also in demand in the business sector.

The certificate program can be taken concurrently with other German and German Studies programs but is of particular interest to students who are not majoring or honouring in a German program. It normally consists of 12 ch of German language acquisition courses, plus 6 ch of German culture courses (GER 3061 and GER 3071), 3 ch of Applied German Studies (GER 2003 and 2004) and 3 ch of German Studies (literature, film, history, political science, philosophy). In addition to these courses the program requires the participation in


11 | P a g e

extracurricular activities such as German film series, immersion program, cultural events, and projects. Students will produce reviews and reports to be collected in a portfolio. Guidelines for the specific requirements of the portfolio will be provided by the instructors. The portfolio will be evaluated for academic assessment by the program director or the instructor.

*There are international partnerships with accredited German universities (Freiburg, Bamberg, Saarland, Erfurt) and schools (Kassel). Courses taken abroad can be considered for transfer credit.

The Certificate of Applied German Studies is open to UNB degree students only and will be awarded by the University through the Registrar's Office. The student's transcript will bear a separate entry, showing that the Certificate has been awarded.

Media Arts & Cultures

General Information

Media Arts & Cultures is an interdisciplinary program that combines the study of media forms, texts, and

contexts with a hands‐on approach to creativity and technology. In this program, students learn about

media by making media. They not only consider, critique, and engage intellectually with media, but also

learn tools and techniques with which media content is created today. In Media Arts & Cultures, we blur

the line between critical consumers and creative producers, between scholars of media and authors of

media.

Honours, Majors, and Minors

Students interested in Media Arts & Cultures have the following five options:

Honours in Media Arts & Cultures

Honours in Media Arts & Cultures (Film Production)

Major in Media Arts & Cultures

Major in Media Arts & Cultures (Film Production)

Minor in Media Arts & Cultures

Honours programs are for students who are interested in a concentrated course of study (typically in

preparation for further studies). The Film Production options are designed to allow students with an

interest in filmmaking to focus their MAAC elective courses in this area. All students electing the Film

Production option still complete all of the core courses for the general Media Arts & Cultures program.

The Minor consists of 24 ch of MAAC courses for students majoring in other disciplines. Joint Honours

and Double Majors with Media Arts & Cultures are also possible.

HONOURS

Admission to the Honours Program in Media Arts & Cultures is open to qualified students who have

completed 45 ch of courses toward the BA degree. Normally students will have completed (or be in

process of completing) 12 ch in lower level MAAC courses. Students should apply for admission to the

Media Arts & Cultures Honours Program in their fourth term. Students may enter the program during

their third year, if they qualify.

To be admitted to Honours, the student must have achieved an average of 3.3 (B+) in their Media Arts &

Cultures courses. Also, an average of 3.3 in MAAC courses and of 2.5 in non‐MAAC courses must be


15 | P a g e

maintained if the student is to retain Honours standing.

Each student's program of study must be approved by the Director of Media Arts & Cultures.

Single Honours Requirements

World Literature and Culture Studies

GENERAL INFORMATION

The Program in World Literature and Culture Studies is dedicated to the study of literature and cultures in a broad interlingual, intercultural and interdisciplinary framework. It offers students the opportunity to explore various cultures and literatures through the study of texts, either in their original language or in translation and to develop a more global consciousness and awareness through cultural literacy. World Literature and Culture Studies introduces students to:

1. The literatures of two or more languages and cultures 2. Questions and theories about literatures and cultures 3. Contemporary and/or historical perspectives on two or more cultures


26 | P a g e

The study of different texts and cultures will enrich and enhance students' understanding of their own as well as of other cultures. This process is facilitated by the systematic comparison of such questions as literary genres, periods, movements, and dominant themes and motifs, or in the context of the mutual impact of two or more national or regional cultures.

Why World Literature and Culture Studies?

Globalization, democratization, and post‐colonial forces continue to powerfully shape our increasingly complex and interconnected world. World Literature and Culture Studies provides a valuable opportunity to study these relationships as expressed in literary and other cultural texts from a variety of perspectives.

Those who would otherwise choose to study one national or regional literature may find here a broader frame of reference for their interest. Students have the opportunity to read intriguing and challenging texts from around the world while discovering the connections between literature and other disciplines and among the various literatures studied in the program; this program offers students the possibility of exploring the relations between literature and such areas as ideology, colonialism, film and other visual arts, gender studies, political thought, and International Development Studies.

World Literature and Culture Studies allows students to improve their analytical and critical thinking skills, develop their abilities in expository writing and oral communications, expand the context of functionality in a second or even third language. Finally, students not only gain perspective on the world, but also deeper insights into their own culture.
