Contents
ENGL 376—World Literature
A gateway course (101: Tools of Textual Analysis) will introduce students to basic concepts of literary analysis and teach them how to write in the discipline. This course is a prerequisite for nearly all English courses. It is part of our new First Year Experience, linked to E110, with the professor teaching both 101 and 110. A second course (102: Texts in Time) will give students the opportunity to explore how texts reflect the cultures that create them by examining a specific historical context. This course will be taught in small sections, with intensive writing and the chance to develop analytical skills necessary in advanced courses. ENGL 102 will replace ENGL 300 in the old set of core courses. These two introductory courses are required of all majors; after that, students will all declare a concentration. While the requirements for each concentration vary, on the whole our majors will then enter into a sequence of historical survey courses covering British and American literature. Thus, most of our students will be taking the same courses their first two years, and these courses will systematically lay the foundation for skills and historical knowledge upon which subsequent courses will be based. Having taken a sequence of courses together, students can then (in their junior and senior years) develop and pursue their own specialized intellectual interests, since most courses after that will be electives. In order to be able to offer English courses to non-majors, there will be a separate track of courses which do not require 101 as a prerequisite.
ENGL 294 and 394 give future teachers a solid core of understanding in English language studies, including grammar, language variation, language change, style, and rhetoric. These courses will replace ENGL 183 and ENGL 390.
ENGL 376, World Literature, will address a shortcoming pointed out in our 2003 NCATE accreditation review. With the addition of this course, future teachers will become familiar with exemplars of world literature, including non-western literature.
The requirement for a
second course in writing, which previously had to be fulfilled by ENGL 302, can
now be fulfilled with the following options: ENGL 301-312, 316, 404-405.
The requirement for a
course in cultural diversity mirrors the one for the English literary studies
and our various concentrations and can be fulfilled by the following courses:
ENGL 202, 214, 215, 344, 345, 348, 347, 378, 380, 381, 382.
Explain, when appropriate,
how this new/revised curriculum supports the 10 goals of undergraduate
education: http://www.ugs.udel.edu/gened/
All English courses
involve extensive reading, research, critical thinking, discussion, and
writing. We work to maintain class sizes that facilitate review and feedback of
written assignments, and we make assignments that demand advanced thinking
skills: problem solving, interpretation, and theoretically-informed reading.
English classes in general attend to diverse literatures, examining how the
production, dissemination, reception, and disposition of texts are influenced
by literary, historical, cultural, and ethnic contexts. Many classes involve
active learning through service learning, independent research, internships,
study abroad, and other experiences that enlarge students' perspectives of the
world beyond the classroom. Our current curricular revisions are intended to
make our courses more representative of diverse
cultures and to insure that students have outcomes we expect: exceptionally
strong reading and research skills, the ability to articulate
compelling arguments, and the ability to produce expert writing.
Identify other units affected
by the proposed changes:
(Attach permission from the affected units. If no other unit is affected, enter “None”)
University policy requires that all proposed changes to
teacher education programs must be approved by the University Council on
Teacher Education (UCTE). These changes
to the English Education program were approved by UCTE on
Describe the rationale for
the proposed program change(s):
(Explain your reasons for creating, revising, or deleting the
curriculum or program.)
The English
Department is changing its curriculum and its concentrations in major ways in
response to our APR. In the new gateway courses to the major, part of a strong
FYE, students will develop reading, writing, and interpretive skills important
to all successive courses. Our new curriculum will allow more freedom of
electives across concentrations, rationalizing course numbering and
prerequisites, making fewer requirements within specific historical periods,
and generally updating the program. We are creating new internship courses and
undergraduate research courses and providing more opportunities to work in
global and multicultural literature. We are
redesigning our courses in grammar, style, and rhetoric and modifying our
capstone experience to best use our resources for a meaningful senior year
experience, including mentored research, internships, student teaching, and
seminars.
In addition to conforming
to changes in the English major that affect the department as a whole, the
proposed English Education program complies fully with the requirements of the
National Council for Accreditation of Teacher Education (NCATE), which
accredits all UD teacher education programs.
Program Requirements:
(Show the new or revised curriculum as it should appear in the
Course Catalog. If this is a revision,
be sure to indicate the changes being made to the current curriculum and include a side-by-side comparison of
the credit distribution before and after the proposed change.)
