studying one language, learning another language is easier because students already have learned how to build knowledge in a systematic way. The report said the four other communication systems also would give students this capacity.
"By learning one of these analogous communication systems, students increase their ability to communicate in a highly complex, technological world," the report said. "All specialties are built upon one or more of these communication systems and make possible the study, understanding of and research in these specialties. These analogous systems become the structure for future learning."
After the committee discussed all the proposals in the core curriculum package with all the schools and departments, Tacha said, the committee would amend the proposals next fall. The proposal then must pass through a series of University committees before being submitted to the faculty for a final vote.
If passed, the curriculum would be effective no earlier than fall 1987.
Need for language discussed
Bob Zerweck, associate dean of engineering, said that as more corporations became multinational, foreign languages became more popular. He said many who can function in foreign countries.
Although engineering students are not required to take foreign language classes, he said, many realize the importance of learning a second language and choose to take one.
But Peter Lorenzi, associate professor of business and a member of the core curriculum committee, said that although he recognized the value of communication in international affairs, he thought foreign language proficiency often was unnecessary.
People need to be proficient in their professions before they are forced to learn a new skill.
Domer agreed that types of communication other than foreign languages could be helpful.
"I think we recognize the importance of communication." Domer said. "It's central to the core curriculum; it's the heart of it. We don't require foreign language of everyone."
Tacha said the proposal was designed to allow each school or department to specify in which communication system their students must take courses.
For example, engineering students, who now are not required to take a foreign language, still would be exempt from the requirement under the new proposal because their communication requirement would be found through math courses they already must take.
However, other students would see changes in their graduation requirements and might have to take more hours.
Students majoring in education would find an additional 12 hours on their curriculums.
Students who seek a bachelor's of general studies degree also would be forced to add hours to their graduation requirements.
Dale Scannell, dean of education, said,
"Our general education requirements for
students in the teacher education program
include 60 hours distributed across a number
of fields. There is not room in those 60 hours
to accommodate a second language system
requirement."
If the present proposal is adopted, he said, the school will be forced to review its current curriculum, and some classes now required would have to be eliminated.
But Domer said, "It affects the people who are the most specialized, and that is what the core curriculum is supposed to do."
The proposed requirement would have the greatest effect on students who now are not required to take any secondary language, such as students who seek a bachelor's of general studies degree.
