Proposal Summary
Explain the purpose for this proposal:
The purpose of this proposal is to establish SPA 34104 as a new course for non-SPA majors who need a speech and
language development course. Currently, this course is being taught as SPA 34104 in two different sections, one targeting
the SPA major and the other offered for non-majors. The instruction has to be adjusted to accommodate the different
backgrounds of major and non-major students. This new course will retain the Speech and Language Development title and
34104 is being retitled. Learning Outcomes: Upon successful completion of this course, the student will be able to:
Understand how the brain and environment contribute to the development of human speech and language. Understand
theories of language development. Understand the typical development of speech and language including phonology,
morphology, syntax, pragmatics and semantics. Analyze language samples to evaluate if a child's language is on track in
terms of expected developmental milestones. Recognize characteristics that differentiate typical from atypical speech
language development and develop a beginning understanding of intervention research related to atypical language
development. In-class activities: Lecture, Videos, Clicker questions, Small group language sample analysis activities,
Quizzes and Exams. Out-of-class activities: Videos, Review of scholarly literature, Reading textbook, Online quizzes and
textbook resources.
Explain how this proposal affects program requirements and students in your unit:
Program requirements will not change. The course reflects the needs of the non-SPA major.
Explain how this proposal affects courses, program requirements and student in other units:
Programs that currently require SPA 34104 will have to revise their program requirements to include the new course SPA
34210 Speech and Language Development. This new course better suits the needs of the non-SPA major.
Explain how this proposal affects enrollment and staffing:
No impact; course is currently taught in two sections. It will now be taught as two different courses.
