Major in Intercultural Studies and Languages

(General Education courses)
The English Studies Program is part of the General Education requirements for all majors at MUIC. This program is designed to support student success in their majors programs and in their professional lives.

Philosophy:
The English Studies General Education Program of MUIC is dedicated to the development of critical thinking, creativity, and individuality in line with MUIC ‘s commitment to liberal education.
English language is central to what makes MUIC an international college. It is a language for international communication, and as such no one people can claim unique ownership of it. The English Studies Program works to empower students to stake their own rightful claim to use English to express their own important voice to the world.

Design:
The English Studies General Education Program takes a theme-based approach to language learning. Students are given freedom to explore a variety of ideas within the scope of given themes about which they want to research, understand, and communicate to another. The teaching and learning in the English Studies Program is process-driven and student-centered.
After completing the General Education requirements, it is expected that students will have attained the academic literacy skills needed to succeed in their major programs, will have developed a level of confidence to use English in public settings, and will have gained a greater sense of self equipped with a unique voice to share with the world.

A Citizen of a Global Community

The Foreign Language and Culture Concentration promotes multilingualism, interactivity, and cross-cultural skills.
The Foreign Language and Culture Concentration allows students to understand how language, culture, and interpersonal skills contribute to successful intercultural communication.
The FLC students will specialize in one modern language while studying a second foreign language to benefit from increased linguistic and cultural competences.
Students will not only develop communicative skills in their chosen foreign languages but also acquire knowledge about multiple cultures, ideas, literary works, and interpersonal soft skills.
In so doing, students will achieve cultural awareness and understanding, together with the mediating expertise required to navigate the challenges of a multilingual and diverse world.

Structure of the FLC Concentration:

In addition to the two required courses, FLC students must choose to study one language in depth (L1 – 44 credits) and need to take all eleven level courses (or 10 levels if students have basic knowledge in the chosen language) consecutively, starting in their first trimester of study. For this component of the program (L1), FLC students have to be complete beginners or have a proficiency level no higher than Elementary I.
Students must complete 3 consecutive course levels in Language 2 (in any language other than Language 1). Previous knowledge accepted (placement test required). (12 credits) For this component of the program (L2), FLC students who have previous knowledge will take a test and be placed at the appropriate level in order to further their study.
ICIC 452 Independent Project in Humanities and Languages is to be taken in the final year of the program, concurrently with ICIC 451 Senior Writing Seminar; or, alternatively, students may choose to complete the ICIC 454 Internship during their final year of study. An external evaluation of their respective language proficiency through an independent evaluation body (Goethe Institute, Alliance Française, DELF-Institute, Hanban, Japanese Institute) is strongly recommended for students in the FLC Concentration.
