School of Languages, Cultures and Linguistics

Disciplines

Asian studies; Chinese studies; Classical studies; Comparative literature and cultural studies; English as an international language; French studies; German studies; Indonesian studies; Italian studies; Japanese and Japanese studies; Korean and Korean studies; Linguistics; Russian studies; Spanish and Latin American studies; Translation studies; Ukrainian studies

All languages can be commenced at introductory level or at a more advanced level (refer to the relevant language entry). Units in all languages contain components of study of the relevant culture or society. Students taking a language are strongly encouraged to take a major or minor in Asian studies, European studies, linguistics, or comparative literature and cultural studies. Students studying a language may apply to Monash Abroad for grants to study in a country where the relevant language is spoken. As many students as possible are encouraged to study at an overseas university for a semester and credit that study towards their degree.

Research in the areas covered by the school is supported by the Centre for European Studies, the Centre for Comparative Literature and Cultural Studies, the Centre for South-East Asian Studies, the Japanese Studies Centre, the Language and Society Centre, and the Monash Asia Institute.

Asian studies

The School of Languages, Cultures and Linguistics offers an interdisciplinary major sequence in Asian studies. It is available to all students and is of particular relevance to those studying an Asian language. It enables students to study issues across a range of Asian countries, cultures and societies and provides a broad comparative perspective across these areas of study.

The major in Asian studies draws on units not only in the School of Languages, Cultures and Linguistics, but also from most other schools. The units may (i) be broadly Asian-focused, (ii) be related exclusively to an individual country or region such as China, Japan, Korea or Southeast Asia, or (iii) deal with a specific issue in a discipline such as politics, theatre studies, anthropology and English if they have a strong Asian component or allow for a marked Asian focus in a significant part of the unit.

For information on the units required for a major or minor in Asian studies, refer to the ‘Areas of study’ section on the faculty website at www.arts.monash.edu.au/current/coursework/study_areas/.

Chinese studies

The Chinese studies program offers six Chinese language entry points on the Clayton campus. Students will be placed in different entry points according to their language ability and their previous language studies. Students who have never studied Chinese should enrol in entry point 1. Students who have completed the second language stream of VCE Chinese, or the equivalent, should enrol in entry point 2. Students who have completed the second language stream (advanced) or the first language stream of VCE Chinese, students who have additional Chinese language background, and native speakers who have completed a substantial part of their schooling in a Chinese educational system will be tested by the department and placed in an advanced entry point

The convenor of the Chinese studies program retains the right to determine the proper stream for any particular student.

Core language units

Once a student’s place is determined, he or she will progress through the core language units in a designated stream. At each level, students have the alternative to enrol in an intensive in-country program as part of their stream component (see ‘Intensive In-Country Chinese Program’ below). The first-year core language units can be located on the web at www.arts.monash.edu.au/current/coursework/study_areas/.

In addition to the core language units, students may also enrol in a number of electives, including Chinese media studies, internship, Chinese readings in a discipline area, and Chinese translation, as part of their major in Chinese.

Intensive In-Country Chinese Program

Summer semester

The Chinese studies program runs an intensive, in-country, fee-paying Chinese language study program at two Chinese host universities – Shanghai International Studies University in Shanghai and Civil Aviation Management Institute of China in Beijing. Students can choose from either a three-week or a six-week program and may be eligible to apply for Monash International Study Abroad Grants. The program offers formal language classes in addition to immersing students in Chinese culture and society. Intensive In-country Chinese Program units can be taken as part of any stream within the Chinese studies program, or as an elective for students from other schools or faculties. Students should consult the web page at www.arts.monash.edu.au/chinese/incountryfor detailed information and must consult with the Chinese studies program before making application. Classes are offered at six language levels plus three Chinese elective units: Chinese Translation, Chinese for Dialect Speakers and Chinese Professional Language Internship.

Chinese studies and Asian studies

All Chinese language students are encouraged to enrol in Chinese studies or Asian studies units. These units have no Chinese language prerequisites and are open to students not studying Chinese language. Chinese and Asian studies units are taught in the school as well as in other schools of the Faculty of Arts and the Faculty of Business and Economics.

Classical studies

The classical studies program at Monash offers students a vibrant and engaging introduction to the life, culture and language of the Ancient Greeks and Romans. No prior knowledge of classical studies is expected when undergraduates enter the program.

At first-year level, we offer 12 point sequences in Latin at all levels (beginner, intermediate and advanced); in Ancient Greek (at beginner and intermediate levels); and in classical cultural studies, where the sequence comprises units on ‘Classical mythology’ and ‘Life and culture in Greece and Rome’ (all texts are studied in translation).

At second and third year, we currently offer students the opportunity to further their language studies in Latin and Ancient Greek, or to develop their studies in classical culture through units on ‘Ancient Greek theatre and Homeric epic’, ‘Body politics in the Classical World’ and ‘Roman performance culture’.

In addition, starting March 2007, an innovative Honours program will be taught for those interested in complementing their competence in the classical languages with detailed studies in ancient religion and myth, drama, erotic poetry and/or ancient political propaganda. Honours will further your knowledge and open for you the doors to post-graduate studies.

A Diploma in Languages (Classical Greek, Latin) is also offered to students who are interested in teaching Latin (upon completion of a Diploma of Education) or wish to indulge in the classical languages outside the structure of a degree.

For information on the units required for a major or minor in classical studies, refer to the ‘Areas of study’ section on the Arts faculty website at www.arts.monash.edu.au/current/coursework/study_areas/.

Comparative literature and cultural studies

Units under this heading are administered by the Centre for Comparative Literature and Cultural Studies and taught jointly by the School of Languages, Cultures and Linguistics and the School of English, Communications and Performance Studies. The centre is an interdisciplinary teaching unit with responsibility for teaching and research in three main areas of work:

Comparative literature is the study of literary texts in ways that go beyond particular national or linguistic boundaries. We study literary texts written in other languages – including Chinese, French, German, Italian, Russian and Spanish – as well as in English. All texts are studied in English translation, but the people teaching them will normally know the original as well.

Cultural studies is the study of literature in its political and social contexts and in relation to other arts and media, for example the press, film and television. We study the interrelationships between texts and codes, both ‘artistic’ and ‘popular’ verbal and visual. We look at the connections between social institutions like the international media conglomerates, cultural technologies like printing and film and cultural forms such as the novel and the soap opera.

Critical theory is an umbrella term for a whole series of contemporary approaches to literary and cultural criticism, for example hermeneutics, semiotics, post-structuralism, ideology critique, psychoanalysis, and so on. Such theories are central to recent work in literary and cultural studies.

Although the emphasis varies from unit to unit, much of our work deals with all three areas.

Undergraduate students can take a first-year sequence in comparative literature and cultural studies and then go on to do a major or minor sequence in comparative literature and cultural studies, drawing on units taught by the Centre as well as up to two second or third-year specified units from other disciplines in the Faculty of Arts. A first-year sequence in advanced German, French, Italian or Spanish or in English literature can also be taken as the qualifying first-year sequence for a minor or major in comparative literature and cultural studies.

For information on the units required for a major or minor in comparative literature and cultural studies, refer to the ‘Areas of study’ section on the Arts faculty website at www.arts.monash.edu.au/current/coursework/study-areas/.

An honours program is also offered.

English as an international language (EIL)

The English as an international language (EIL) program offers a range of undergraduate and postgraduate courses related to the study of English as a language of international communication. The graduates of EIL program will gain an advanced understanding of the professional and international use of English. Students have the option of studying EIL in combination with other majors such as business, commerce, and languages to increase their area of expertise and therefore increase their chance of finding excellent job opportunities. This course is available to international and local students from culturally and linguistically diverse backgrounds.

For students who cannot attend in person, the first-year EIL units are also available in the off-campus learning mode. The units offered are EIL 1010 (English as an international language: communications) and EIL 1020 (English as an international language: Language and Critical analysis). For more information about this option, contact the program convenor.

For information on the units required for a major or minor in English as an international language, refer to the ‘Areas of study’ section on the Arts faculty website at www.arts.monash.edu.au/current/coursework/study-areas/.

French studies

The French studies program is designed to enable students to develop a high level of communicative competence in the French language (including translation skills and specialised registers such as business French), and a critical awareness of fundamental areas of French studies: literature, film, cultural studies, politics and social sciences. Students will develop writing and research skills appropriate to advanced independent study.

Language levels in first year

French can be studied from an absolute beginners level up to a level of near-native language proficiency. The French studies program has four entry points through four first-year sequences, each comprising a first and second-semester unit (see the back section of this handbook for the full description of units). These entry points correspond to four levels of proficiency in the French language, ranging from absolute beginners to advanced proficiency. Students who have completed VCE French with a score above 30 or an equivalent qualification will normally enrol at French studies level 5. To ensure that students are placed in the most appropriate level in the light of their individual profile and the best outcome they can expect to achieve, students undertake placement testing prior to the start of first semester and, where applicable, are asked to provide a copy of their VCE results.

Minor and major sequences

Students normally progress in second and third years through sequential language levels and complete option units in fundamental areas of French studies for the major in French studies.

For information on the units required for a major or minor in French studies, refer to the ‘Areas of study’ section on the Arts faculty website at www.arts.monash.edu.au/current/coursework/study-areas/.

Study abroad

All students have the opportunity to participate in the Language Study Abroad Program in France or the francophone world. The French studies program has exchange agreements with the universities of Clermont-Ferrand II, Lyon III and Paris III for semester-length study abroad. It also organises the New Caledonia Study Abroad Program in the summer semester and provides for other summer-semester forms of study abroad. Grants for study abroad are available through Monash Abroad, to whom applications should be addressed.

German studies

The German studies programs are designed for students wishing to specialise in German studies (language, linguistics, literature and their relation to culture and society), and also for those seeking a broader outlook within the humanities and social sciences. At every level, students are required to engage in studies of German language and culture, practical language study and fundamental training in German culture and history as well as German linguistics. Optional units, offered at second and third-year levels, offer opportunities for diversification and specialisation in the fields of German literature and culture, media studies and German linguistics. These options are offered from level two onwards.

The core units are organised in streams, catering for different levels of language proficiency (entry points 1 through 10). German can be studied from beginner’s stage to a stage of near-native language proficiency. Depending on the units taken at first-year level, the sequences may lead either to an introductory minor or major or to an advanced minor or major.

Students may also undertake further studies at honours level in German linguistics and cultural studies. Students should contact the program director for further advice.

For information on the units required for a major or minor in German studies, refer to the ‘Areas of study’ section on the Arts faculty website at www.arts.monash.edu.au/current/coursework/study-areas/.

Study abroad

All students have the opportunity to participate in the Language Study Abroad Program in Germany, Austria or Switzerland. The German studies program has links with more than a dozen universities in German-speaking countries. Applications for Study Abroad should be addressed to Monash Abroad. There are also a number of German Government (DAAD) scholarship schemes available to students at a variety of different levels.

For more detailed information, contact Dr Axel Fliethmann, German studies (building 11, room W314, email axel.fliethmann@arts.monash.edu.au).

Indonesian studies

The aim of the Indonesian language program is to facilitate students’ progress towards a high level of communications skills in a cross-cultural setting. The discipline involves the integration of language skills in standard Indonesian with knowledge of the broader social and cultural contexts of Indonesia. For information on the units required for a major or minor in Indonesian studies, refer to the ‘Areas of Study’ section on the Arts faculty website at www.arts.monash.edu.au/current/coursework/studyareas/. The language program is offered via three modes: on-campus (Clayton and Caulfield), off-campus and in-country. Students have the choice to move between any of these modes or campuses during their progression through the program.

In-country studies

Students who wish to fast-track their language major in Indonesian and gain valuable, in-country experience are encouraged to intensive mode at Gadjah Mada University, in Yogyakarta. This intensive program, equivalent to two 6-point units takes approximately six weeks and is held during the summer. the program is only available on a fee-paying basis. However, it is recommended that students seek further information regarding their eligibility for in-country studies grants or loans.

Off-campus language studies

Students who are unable to attend classes may consider off-campus study of a unit at anytime during their language program. Off-campus students will have both print and electronic materials posted to them and have access to our educational website. Students may also access the on-campus library materials via post or by visiting a Monash campus and consult with their tutors either face-to-face or via telephone or email. Additional face-to-face support and practice is provided via a weekend workshop each semester.

Indonesian studies and Asian studies

All Indonesian language students are encouraged to enrol in Indonesian studies or Asian studies units. These units have no Indonesian language prerequisites. Indonesian and Asian studies units are taught in both schools of the Faculty of Arts and the Faculty of Business and Economics. These units can be taken as part of the Indonesian language major, or as a separate major or minor in Asian studies.

Italian studies

The Italian studies program aims to assist students as they gradually develop their linguistic competence, both passive (understanding and reading) and active (speaking and writing). It also helps students to expand their knowledge of important areas of Italian culture: history, society, language, literature, film and theatre. Each proficiency level sequence has a cultural component as well as a language component. Italian has four entry points, all of which lead to either a minor or a major sequence. Students who complete a major sequence with good results may undertake honours at fourth-year level. A level 8 exit point is required for the honours year. The preferential pathways for all entry points lead to this level.

For information on the units required for a major or minor in Italian studies, refer to the ‘Areas of study’ section on the Arts faculty website at www.arts.monash.edu.au/current/coursework/study-areas/.

Study abroad

Grants are available to second and third-year students who intend to study in Italy. Students have the possibility of attending intensive 6-point units at first and second-year level at the Monash University Prato Centre. Honours students are strongly encouraged to study for one semester in an Italian university (preferably Florence University) as part of their honours degree. They can apply for a Monash Abroad grant.

Japanese and Japanese studies

The Japanese studies program offers units in Japanese language and Japanese studies. A major and minor is available in both of these areas of study.

The program currently provides instruction in the Japanese language from six possible entry levels, catering for students ranging from beginners to semi-native speakers. Students will be placed in classes appropriate to their ability, which will vary according to their previous study (at school and at other institutions) and their experience in Japan.

Once students’ starting points are determined, they will progress through the core language units in sequence.

For details, refer to the ‘Areas of study’ section on the faculty website at www.arts.monash.edu.au/current/coursework/study-areas/. Within the Japanese major, students also take additional elective units in language or in Japanese or Asian studies. Higher-level language study is available through the honours and postgraduate programs.

Japanese is offered at the Clayton campus. Students attend weekly lectures and tutorials, and learn through interacting with teachers, classmates and Japanese people in and out of the classroom and through the use of information technology.

Study in Japan – exchange programs

The Japanese program has been active in developing exchanges and there are now agreements with 11 Japanese institutions. While each exchange has its own features, collectively they provide a wide range of opportunities for students to study in Japan. The credit arrangements vary and need to be clearly verified with the Japanese exchange program coordinator before a student can be assured of receiving credit. The units JPL2991/3991/3992 (Language study in Japan) and JPS2991/3991/3992 (Japanese studies in Japan) can be taken in Japan as a substitute for core courses in the Japanese language or in Japanese studies. The first semester of the honours year can also be spent in Japan. Students wishing to study in Japan are encouraged to take both Japanese language and Japanese studies units. A range of scholarships is available from the university and from the Japanese Government. For further information, students should consult the website, or the exchange program coordinator within the Japanese program.

Study in Japan – Kanazawa program (intensive summer course)

The Japanese program currently runs a unique 10-week, fee-paying, in-country language study program with Ishikawa Prefecture. Students can complete two semesters of study (12 points) on an intensive basis. Students are eligible to apply for Monash International Study Abroad Grants. The program allows students to understand more about Japanese culture and society, as well as language. Students should consult the Japanese program for further information.

Japanese studies

Japanese studies units are taught in English and most require no language prerequisites (with the exception of units in the linguistics stream). They are open to all students and may be taken as part of a major or minor in Japanese language or studies, as part of a major in Asian studies, or on their own.

Two units form the first-year sequence in Japanese studies: ASN1010 (Asian civilisations: cycle of empires) and JPS1090 (Understanding contemporary Japan). Together, these units provide a broad introduction to a number of aspects of Japanese culture and society, and the broader Asian context. After the first-year sequence, a variety of units are available in society, culture, and linguistics and communication.

For information on the units required for a major or minor in Japanese studies, refer to the ‘Areas of study’ section on the Arts faculty website at www.arts.monash.edu.au/current/coursework/study-areas/.

Korean and Korean studies

The Korean studies program is designed for students who wish to acquire Korean language skills and understand Korean culture and society. The units offered are useful to students who aspire to a professional career in business or government, communication, education and other fields.

Korean language teaching incorporates interactive and online resources to enhance learning and bring Korean culture to the classroom. Introducing Hangul, a phonetic writing system, enables students to type in Korean from the beginner level. Higher-level students are strongly encouraged to engage in online discussion in Korean.

Korean language can be studied from the beginner level to the advanced level. Focus is on the use of Korean in various genre areas such as business, journalism, science, law, tourism. Socio-cultural aspects in these areas are also explored.

Students may complete a major sequence and honours in Korean studies at the Clayton campus. Students may also complete a minor sequence in Korean studies combining units offered by the School of Languages, Cultures and Linguistics with units offered by other schools. Combined honours may be taken in the School of Languages, Cultures and Linguistics and another discipline.

There are two entry points in Korean language: (a) for those who have no previous knowledge of Korean, and (b) for those who have completed VCE Korean or its equivalent. Placement tests are required for those students who intend to enrol in the higher level. The Korean language program will conduct the test.

For information on the units required for a major or minor in Korean studies, refer to the ‘Areas of study’ section on the Arts faculty website at www.arts.monash.edu.au/current/coursework/study-areas/.

Study abroad

All students are strongly encouraged to participate in the Language Study Abroad Program in Korea. Grants for study are available through Monash Abroad, to whom applications should be addressed. Third and fourth-year students may also apply for a Korean Government scholarship. Contact the program as early as possible for further details on study abroad possibilities.

Korean and Asian studies

All Korean language students are encouraged to enrol in Korean studies or Asian studies units. These units have no Korean language prerequisites. Korean and Asian studies units are taught in the school as well as in other schools of the Faculty of Arts and the Faculty of Business and Economics. Units can be taken as part of the Korean language major, or of a separate major or minor in Asian studies.

Linguistics

Linguistics is the study of the structure and function of language and the uses of language in communication, including written, spoken and ‘cyber’ contexts. Linguistics explores how languages differ and what they all share, and provides the techniques and principles to be adopted in the analysis and description of any given language. In addition, the linguistic study of language and language use in socio-cultural contexts contributes to our understanding of identities, social and cultural organisation, multiculturalism and multilingualism, institutions and power, as well as the creative functions of language in texts and discourses. Knowledge of linguistics is central to the study of languages (eg English, Australian Aboriginal languages, Chinese, French, German, Greek, Indonesian, Italian, Japanese, Korean, Russian, Spanish). Linguistics also offers students of anthropology, mathematics, philosophy, sociology, engineering, psychology, law, and computer science, useful insights into the nature of language in their particular area of interest. Examples of the practical applications of linguistics include communications within organisations, communications interfaces with electronic systems, the preparation of materials for language teaching, the documentation of endangered languages, the development of language policies in government and education, and in the areas of business, professional and technical communication, tourism, intercultural communication and speech therapy.

The first year provides students with an introduction to the nature of language, including the manner in which sounds are produced and represented (phonetics), the organisation and relationship of sounds in language (phonology), the forms and structures of words (morphology), the organisation of words in sentences (syntax), the analysis of meaning (semantics and pragmatics), language change (historical linguistics) and language variation and the uses of language in social contexts (sociolinguistics).

In the second and third years, the areas of syntax, semantics, pragmatics, phonetics, phonology, and sociolinguistics are developed on a general and comparative basis and there are also units exploring varieties of English, historical and comparative linguistics, Aboriginal languages, Austronesian languages, discourse analysis, language and identity, psycholinguistics, first and second language acquisition, intercultural communication, endangered languages, multiliteracies in English and the structure of English.

For information on the units required for a major or minor in linguistics, refer to the ‘Areas of study’ section on the Arts faculty website at www.arts.monash.edu.au/current/coursework/study-areas/.

Linguistics also offers a fourth-year honours program which combines coursework and a 24-point research thesis as the foundation for postgraduate research degrees.

Off-campus learning and online resource delivery

Several linguistics units are offered by off-campus learning or by a combination of online resources and face-to-face teaching contact. These units are usually available in the same semester as the on-campus delivery of the unit. The access to online resources and off-campus learning allows for flexibility, and face-to-face class commitments are kept to a minimum. Alternative arrangements include the use of the Monash portal and electronic group discussion programs. In addition to the online or print resources, students can access tutorial support by telephone, fax and email. The intention is that the flexible learning program should make linguistics units available to students whose work or other commitments make it difficult for them to attend regular classes on-campus. The following units can be undertaken on-campus, or through flexible mode using online resources: LIN1010 (The language game: why do we talk the way we do?), LIN1020 (Describing and analysing language and communication), LIN2/3310 (Semantics: meaning in human languages), LIN2/3330 (Pragmatics strategies for communication), LIN2/3570 (The analysis of discourse: texts, narrative and society).

For more details on flexible learning units, contact the linguistics program or visit the website at www.arts.monash.edu.au/ling/.

Study abroad

Students may apply to study linguistics abroad. A list of approved universities and units may be obtained from Dr Anna Margetts (email anna.margetts@arts.monash.edu.au or contact the School of Languages, Cultures and Linguistics).

Russian studies

The minor in Russian studies comprises units on Russian, Soviet and post-Soviet literature, culture, society and cinema. Texts are studied in English. Pathways through the major in European studies are available with permission from the Centre for European Studies.

For information on the units required for a minor in Russian studies, refer to the ‘Areas of study’ section on the Arts faculty website at www.arts.monash.edu.au/current/coursework/study-areas/.

Spanish and Latin American studies

Programs in Spanish and Latin American studies are suitable for students wishing to specialise in the discipline, and for those requiring a broad education in the humanities. Language study is a compulsory part of Spanish and Latin American studies and is designed to enable students to develop a high level of communicative competence (including specialised registers and translation skills). The study of Spanish and Latin American history and culture is conducted from first year in English. Optional units, covering Spain and Latin America are introduced from the second year in Spanish and aim to develop a critical awareness of fundamental areas of Spanish and Latin American studies including linguistics, literature, cultural theory and film. All programs develop writing and research skills appropriate to advanced independent study.

For information on the units required for a major or minor in Spanish and Latin American studies, refer to the ‘Areas of study’ section on the Arts faculty website at www.arts.monash.edu.au/current/coursework/study-areas/.

Study abroad

Students are strongly encouraged to participate in the Language Study Abroad Program in Spain or Latin America. The Spanish and Latin American Studies Program has exchange agreements with three universities (Pontificia Universidad Católica de Chile, Universidad Autónoma de Madrid, Spain and Tec de Monterrey, Mexico). Students should contact the program coordinators as early as possible for further details on the units they may take abroad.

Translation studies

Translation studies is an interdisciplinary subject drawing on a wide variety of fields, including language and literary studies, philosophical and theoretical studies, as well as technology, science, finance and law. At Monash, translation studies is a postgraduate program designed to provide an academic qualification for those intending to take up careers as professional translators working in a broad range of fields, such as business, science, technology and cross-cultural communication, as well as for those who wish to pursue careers in publishing, journalism or other areas of the media.

Some language programs in the School of Languages, Cultures and Linguistics offer translation units as part of their minor and major sequences. At fourth-year level, students may undertake a translation project as an honours dissertation, or they may enrol in the Graduate Diploma in Translation Studies or the Master of Translation Studies.

Students considering a career as translators or interpreters are encouraged to seek advice on possible pathways and may make an appointment with the coordinator of the program. For contact details and further information, visit the website at www.arts.monash.edu.au/translation_studies.

Ukrainian studies

The Mykola Zerov Centre for Ukrainian Studies offers Ukrainian in a beginners and an advanced stream. Both can be taken for one, two or three years. Students may achieve a minor or major in Ukrainian studies. Both streams feature composite units, which aim not only to develop students’ competence in the written and spoken language, but also to introduce them to modern Ukrainian literature and culture and the political life of the Ukraine today. Pathways through the major in European studies are available with permission from the Centre for European Studies.

For information on the units required for a major or minor in Ukrainian studies, refer to the ‘Areas of study’ section on the Arts faculty website at www.arts.monash.edu.au/current/coursework/study-areas/.

At fourth-year level, students may enrol for honours in Ukrainian studies, or in Ukrainian studies combined with another approved discipline.

A Diploma in Languages (Ukrainian) and a Graduate Diploma in Languages (Ukrainian) are available.

At the graduate level, students may be supervised for the degrees of MA or PhD by research in Ukrainian studies.

Study abroad

The centre has links to universities in L’viv and Kyiv and encourages students to take one semester of study in Ukraine. Grants for study abroad are available through Monash Abroad.
