Provide a concise explanation of how the following goal is a “significant focus” of the proposed course.
Goal Area 6: Humanities & Fine Arts
Expand appreciation and critical understanding of changing modes of human expression and systems of
thought in the arts and humanities, and develop abilities in the creation and performance of meaning.
The study of languages has traditionally been included within the Fine
Arts and Humanities. By its very nature, the study of a foreign language
and culture is precisely the study of a distinct and ever-evolving system of
human expression and thought. Given the dual language/culture focus of the
course students are regularly exposed to and required to react to a variety
of works of art, architecture, literature, music and other forms of cultural
expression from target-language culture.
13. In order for a course to be designated as fulfilling Goal Area 6, it must address at least 5 of the 7 student learning
outcomes (SLOs) below. Check the SLOs below that are focused on in the proposed general education course.
1. Demonstrate awareness of the scope and variety of works in the arts and humanities.
2. Describe and appreciate works in the arts and humanities as expressions of individual and collective values
within an intellectual, cultural, historical and social context.
3. Interpret and respond critically to works from various cultures in the arts and humanities.
4. Explore intellectually the ideas expressed in works in the arts and humanities.
5. Engage in creative processes or interpretive performance.
6. Articulate an informed personal response to works in the arts and humanities.
7. Analyze the diverse means of communication in the arts and humanities.
14.
Discuss how each Student Learning Outcome checked above is achieved in this course. (Note: Although
descriptions of typical assignments or types of assignments may be part of this discussion, it is not
appropriate to submit copies of actual assignments.)
1. Students will identify, describe and react to a wide variety of
works of art, architecture and literature from throughout target culture.
2. Students will describe and analyze the target language and works of art,
architecture and literature from throughout the target culture within the
works' historical and cultural contexts.
3. Students will describe and compare works of art, architecture and
literature from culturally distinct regions throughout the target culture.
4. Students will describe and analyze the ideas expressed in works of art,
architecture and literature from the target culture

5. Students will write creative compositions and engage in group
situational performances.
6. Students will articulate oral and/or writen reactions to a variety of
works of art, architecture, literature and music from the target culture.

communication in the target culture.
