Re: Report to the Council Committee on Undergraduate Admissions & Studies

ITEM FOR INFORMATION

Report from the Commission examining the feasibility of adopting the Canadian Language Benchmarks

(CLB) as a test for English language proficiency for applicants to the University of Regina

Meeting Date: December 2nd, 2010

Members:

Angelique Saweczko

Livia Castellanos

Dena McMartin

Dorothy Lane

Marg Olfert (Guest from SIAST)

Chris Barlow (Guest from SIAST)

Sheila Dresen

Faculty from the Nursing Division at SIAST have requested that the University of Regina consider

adopting the CLB as a test of English language proficiency for applicants to programs at the University.

The conclusion of the members of the commission is that this change is not supported.

Rationale:

The intent of the CLB is to provide a national standard used to plan teaching and assessment in Canadian

adult ESL programs. It is used to assess the degree of competence in reading, writing, listening and

speaking that is measured by an English competency test instrument, such as TOEFL. It also is used to

assess the rigor of curriculum design of an ESL program, such as is offered here at the University of

Regina, and the expected competency outcomes of its graduates. It is not intended to be used to assess

individual language proficiency for admission purposes.

There is a second test, Canadian language Benchmarks Placement Test (CLBPT) that can be used to

assess and track an individual’s progress prior to and during ESL training programs. The CLBPT

determines the level of ESL support needed by adult learners; however, it tests only up to a level of 8,

which is an intermediate level of proficiency. There is no option to go beyond that value. Level 9, the

minimum for advanced level proficiency, is required at the university level. 2

APPENDIX I

Because the CLBPT does not have the ability to test beyond a level 8, it can not be used for admission to

university level study. In addition, this tool has been validated only in the adult immigrant context and

should not be used for other purposes until appropriate research has been carried out.

Respectfully submitted

APPENDIX II

II ITEMS FOR INFORMATION

The Faculty of Arts approved the following action on courses and offers them for

information.

A. Courses Created

1. Department of French

FR 205 3:3-1

Communication in French - Communication en français

Å l'aide d'exercices de prononciation, d'improvisation, de jeux de rôles, de débats,

de présentation sure des sujets variés et d'exercices de révision de points

grammaticaux, les étudiants apprendront des techniques de communication;

élargiront leur vocabulaire en améliorant la compréhension et l'expression orale et

écrite. Using exercises on pronunciation, improvisation, role play, debates,

presentations and grammar review activities, students will acquire communication

techniques; improve vocabulary and oral/aural/written fluency. ***Prerequisite:

FR 113 with a minimum grade of 60%, Grade 12 French and pre-registration

assessment, or permission of the Department Head***

Rationale:

The course is required in a context where French is spoken only by a minority of people.

This course is required in order to attain a better oral fluency, mainly working on

vocabulary and also by reviewing grammar aspects.

FR 220 6:6-1

Français intermédiaire intensif - Intensive Intermediate French

Study of grammatical structures; composition and reading with some oral work.

Études des structures grammaticales; rédaction et lecture. Composante orale.

***Prerequisite: FR 113 with a minimum grade of 60%, Grade 12 French and

pre-registration assessment, or permission of the Department Head. *** *Note:

Students may not receive credit for FR 220 or both of FR 201 and FR 202*

Rationale: This accelerated course (FR201 and FR202 in the same semester) would permit students to move

more rapidly to advanced courses in their area of concentration and would allow greater retention

of students, since they would be able to take more French courses in less time. Moreover,

Baccalauréat en éducation students (who represent a large proportion of students taking FR201

and FR202) would also be able to take advantage of this accelerated program. They would take

one additional course from the French Department, making them better prepared prior to

departure for their studies in Quebec. Finally, FR210 would allow some students to complete

their language requirement in one semester, thereby making French an attractive option.

Note: Course was approved as FR 210 at APDC and Faculty Council, but the faculty was notified

by the Registrar‟s Office that the number FR 210 could not be used.

7

APPENDIX II

FR 305 3:3-1

Oral Communication Techniques in French - Techniques de communication

orale en françaisÅ l'aide de la technologie et du laboratoire, des exercices de

pronociation, des documents audio-visuels à orientation culturelle, des débats et

des présentations individuelles/collectives sure des sujets variés, les étudiants

apprendront les techniques de communication et élargiront leur vocabulaire en

améliorant la compréhension et l'expression orale. ***Prerequisite: FR 202 or

FR 203 with minimum grade of 60% or permission of Department Head***

Rationale: To address articulation, oral performance and skill deficiencies among the department‟s 200- and

300- level students.

2. Department of Philosophy and Classics

PHIL 345 3:3-0

Philosophy of Language I

A critical examination of theories of language by consideration of such topics as

meaning, the relation of meaning to use, sense and reference, and by

consideration of such topics as vagueness, open texture and metaphor.

***Prerequisite: One 200-level PHIL course or permission of Department

Head*** **This course is equivalent to PHIL 331. Students may not receive

credit for both PHIL 331 and 345.**

PHIL 445 3:3-0

Philosophy of Language II

Seminar on selected topics in Philosophy of Language. ***Permission of the

Department Head is required to register*** **This course is equivalent to PHIL

435BB. Students may not receive credit for both PHIL 435BB and 445.**

PHIL 346 3:3-0

Philosophy of Action I

A critical examination of the main competing theories of human action and

agency, this course will consider such issues as the nature of action, mistake,

accident and inadvertence; the nature of the relevant mental antecedents of actions

and the relations which hold between behaviour and its mental antecedents;

intentionality and unintentionality; practical reasoning and planning; autonomy

and heteronomy; the extent of intention and responsibility. ***Prerequisite: One

200-level PHIL course or permission of Department Head*** **This course is

equivalent to PHIL 335BA. Students may not receive credit for both PHIL

335BA and 346.**

PHIL 446 3:3-0

Philosophy of Action II

Seminar on selected topics in Philosophy of Action ***Permission of the

Department Head is required to register*** **This course is equivalent to PHIL

440. Students may not receive credit for both PHIL 440 and 446.**

APPENDIX II

Rationale:

Housekeeping motions to create regular course numbers for experimental courses and

align course numbering with department offerings.

3. Department of Psychology

PSYC 321 3:3-0

Forensic Psychology

An overview of the field of forensic psychology – the intersection of psychology

and the law. Topics include: psychology of police investigations, deception,

eyewitness testimony, child victims and witnesses, juries, mental illness in court,

sentencing and parole, domestic violence, sexual offenders, psychopathy, risk

assessment, and special offender populations.

***Prerequisite: PSYC 101 and 102 and completion of 60 credit hours. Declared

majors in the Justice Studies department may register with PSYC 101 OR 102 and

completion of 60 credit hours.***

Rationale:

Forensic Psychology is one of the fastest growing sub-fields in psychology. Graduate

programs specializing in forensic psychology are expanding and there are now several

options for students pursuing advanced degrees in Canada. The psychology department

does not yet offer an introductory course in this area. Forensic psychology is a developed,

highly theoretical area of psychology that combines interests from many other areas of

psychology (cognitive, social, developmental). As an area of general interest to a broad

range of students, this course has the potential to attract students from outside of

psychology and Arts, while at the same time offering another senior elective for

psychology majors to consider among their choices.

PSYC 388 3:3-0

Selected Topics – an AA-ZZ seriesCurrent interest topics and occasional

offerings. Designed for students with minimal background in psychology.

***Prerequisite: PSYC 101 and 102 or permission of the department head and

completion of 60 credit hours. Additional prerequisites may be set depending

upon the particular topic offered.

Rationale:

The psychology department is frequently asked to provide courses for non-majors. This

special topics course would allow the department to offer such courses on a case-by-case

basis. B. Courses Revised

1. Department of Religious Studies

RLST 322 3:3-3

Origins of Modern Antisemitism and the Holocaust

The religious and cultural roots of antisemitism and its manifestations in Western

civilization: the rise of racist and political antisemitism in Europe; seminal issues

9

APPENDIX II

in the history of the Holocaust; an analysis of the various political and cultural

responses to the events of this period.

*** Prerequisite: One of RLST 219, 227, 228, 229, or 248, or permission of

Department Head *** completion of 30 credit hours. RLST 100 is recommended

Rationale: A memo to APDC was sent in October 2008 requesting prerequisite

changes in a number of Rlst courses including Rlst 322. All were approved but

Rlst 322 was inadvertently removed from the list of changes. This is a

housekeeping motion.

2. Department of History

HIST 405 3:3-0

Contemporary Quebec

Nationalism in the 1920s; the impact of the depression; the rise of the Union

Nationale; Dominion-Provincial relations; the defeat of the Union Nationale and

the beginnings of the Quiet Revolution. An analysis of the puzzling, specific and

distinct history of Quebec. By examining issues such as language, religion,

economic development and politics with special attention to recent history, this

course will delve into Québecois uniqueness and its implications.

*** Prerequisite: Completion of 60 credit hours or permission of Department

Head ***

Rationale: For the moment I (Stephen Kenny) have inherited the contemporary Quebec

course and would hope to keep it in our offerings. However, Andre Lalonde‟s previous

description was highly focused in its chronological definition and „événementiel‟ in its

approach. Much has happened in Quebec since the Quiet Revolution. I would rather

pursue important themes over longer periods of time. Finally, I think a more general

description would be more amenable to a variety of approaches.

HIST 304 3:3-0

Canadian Military History From the Colonial Era to Present New France to

the Afghanistan War

An overview of Canada's wars: the struggle for New France, the Conquest, the

War of 1812, the Boer War, World Wars I and II, the Korean War, the war in

Afghanistan and various lesser conflicts. Emphasizing how the experience of war

has shaped Canadian society and culture and vice-versa.

***Prerequisite: One History course or completion of 30 credit hours.***

Rationale:

As Tim Cook has remarked in his recent book, Clio’s Wars, there recently has been a

surge of interest in Canadian military history among undergraduates at Canadian

universities. There is no reason to think that the University of Regina is any different in

this regard. In addition, the volume of scholarly writing on this topic has increased

substantially in the last couple of decades, and there is no sign that the trend will slacken.

Much of this work focuses on what is known as the “new military history,” which

emphasizes not battlefield tactics and strategy, but rather the inter-relationship between

war, society and culture. This is the approach that governs the content of the proposed

10

APPENDIX II

course. It is also the focus of my research in this area, as evidenced in my recent book

For All We Have And Are: Regina and the Experience of the Great War (University of

Manitoba, 2008), which examines the impact of war in all its dimensions both on the

home front and at the battle front. It also informs my current research, which looks at the

impact of the First World War on the University of Saskatchewan.

3. Department of Political Science

PSCI 100 3:3-0

People, Power and Politics: An Introduction

An introduction to the issues, concepts and institutions of contemporary politics in

both Canadian and international contexts, inviting critical thinking on subjects

such as power, citizenship, democracy, diversity, feminism and colonialism. It

links these topics to current world political events and issues. The objectives of

the course are to introduce concepts and approaches in political studies; and to

cultivate civic education.

Rationale

The Department of Political Science took a collective decision to revisit and revise the

content of PSci 100 in response to a concern both from the Faculty and from the

Department itself concerning the declining enrolments. It was felt that the traditional

approach to the introductory course (which focused on Political Science as an academic

discipline) was both less appealing to students and in some ways did not convey the

importance that an understanding of political dynamics has to the life of students as

citizens.

The feeling in the department was that students would be better served by a course that

emphasizes the nature of contemporary citizenship in a global context. Beyond being a

gateway to the further study of politics, PSci 100 should have, it was felt, a broader

purpose aimed at exploring what it means to be a citizen in contemporary society – not

just in Canada, but internationally as well. As a result, the department collaborated on

the development of a new curriculum for such a course that blended some of the

traditional emphases of political science (institutional structures, political parties,

ideology) with ideas of civic participation, power, legitimacy and mechanisms for and

barriers to political change.

In addition to the change in the content of the course, the department felt that a new name

for the course, “People, Power and Politics: An Introduction” would signal the change in

emphasis toward greater attention to the role that an understanding of politics has for

one‟s life as a citizen and not just as a student.

The final change that the department committed itself to was to change the distribution of

contact hours, moving from two hours of lectures with a one-hour student-led seminar to

three hours of lecture combined with a larger number of smaller sections of the class.

Here the goal was to increase the ability of the faculty members to have more open and

participatory classroom sessions that would give the students more direct interaction with

each other and the faculty member. In addition, the smaller class size means that course

assignments can be redesigned to emphasize critical writing skills and provide

opportunities for greater feedback from the faculty members on those assignments.

Rationale:

These changes are in response to curriculum changes by the Department of Geography.

Geography has changed Geog 100 to a non-majors course and converted 220, and 221 to

Geog 120 and Geog 121. The rationale for the these changes as outlined by the

Department of Geography are as follows:

Repositioning of GEOG 220 and GEOG 221 to the 100-level will create three

100-level courses in Geography. Although completion of all three courses is

desirable, no other program in the Faculty of Arts requires students to complete

three 100-level courses in the same discipline. Henceforth, GEOG 100 will

serve as a service course for students in Geography and other disciplines rather

than a required course of Geography programs.

Deletion of GEOG 100 reduces the number of courses in all Geography

programs. To restore the appropriate number of courses in these programs the

Department proposes that one additional course be added at the 300 or 400-

level.

Deletion of GEOG 100 reduces the number of courses in the Minor. Adding

GEOG 207 (Basics of Map and Air Photo Interpretation) restores the

appropriate number of courses in the program. In doing so, GEOG 207 provides

students with a range of visual interpretation skills that complement skills

acquired in other courses in the Minor.

1.3 Motion that GEOG 221 and GEOG 326 be removed as required course and replaced with GEOG

121 and One of the following courses: GEOG 325, 326, 327 in the Environmental Biology BSc

and BSc Honours Joint programs with SIAST Woodland Campus, Lethbridge College and

Lakeland College.

16.11.2.10 BSc in Environmental Biology

This is a joint program with SIAST Woodland Campus. To complete the BSc in Environmental

Biology, students must have completed the Diploma of Integrated Resource Management from

SIAST Woodland Campus with a minimum 60% graduating average and a passing grade in Math

C30 or equivalent. Graduation from a similar program may be used for admission to this program

and will be reviewed on a case by case basis. Students meeting admission requirements will be

granted 60.0 hours of block transfer credit toward this degree program.

APPENDIX IV

Date: February 18, 2011

To: Council Committee on Undergraduate Admissions & Studies

From: Dr. Heather Ryan, Associate Dean, Student Services & Undergraduate Programs

Faculty of Education

I. ITEMS FOR APPROVAL

The Faculty of Education Council recommends the following to CCUAS for approval:

A. Secondary Program – Recommendation on Proceeding to Pre-internship MOTION That the Secondary Program recommends students have a 70% major subject area average and appropriate professional development in order to proceed to pre-internship, be approved. Rationale: The Secondary Program recommends that students achieve an average of 70% in the major subject area and appropriate professional development in order to proceed to the pre-internship semester. The pre-internship semester is an important experience leading to the internship semester. Previously, when students were permitted to continue in the program based on a mathematical possibility to raise the GPA, students who were not successful during pre-internship faced an interruption in their professional development of one year. In order to preserve the integrity of the program, we recommend that students reach the required standard to avoid the interruption.

B. Resubmission of Tabled Motion from Dec. 10

th meeting:

Revisions to the Arts Education Majors & After Degree (BEAD) MOTION That the Arts Education Program templates be revised as follows, effective Fall 2011.
