UC Undergraduate Studies Catalog 2019-2023

Section XIV

Foreign Language Programs

 

The University of Cambodia’s School of Foreign Languages was recently approved by MoEYS, based on a Prakas issued on 26 April, 2018; the transfer of English programs from the erstwhile College of Arts, Humanities and Languages was approved by a Prakas dated 18 September 2018.

At present, we offer undergraduate programs in Chinese, French, Japanese and Korean with a special focus on the study of the language, literature and culture.

Students specializing have the chance to become fluent in their chosen language, whilst also learning to appreciate cultural differences through the study and applied research of language and literature. In addition to the above languages, potential languages will be added accordingly to meet the market needs.

Note that, in contrast to degree offerings in the Khmer and English-medium International tracks, the language component of the General Education program comprising two English courses in the Foundation Year does not apply. Two core courses related to the initial acquisition of the foreign language in question are instead the primary components in the student’s Foundation Year regarding the six credits for foreign language, as well as being the equivalent language component of the General Education requirements.

Ø  Depending on their language background (see Section V.3), students in this School may study courses outside their major either through the medium of English or Khmer.

To simplify presentation, the listing of courses for various degree programs uses a derivative categorization here.

               1.   The list of Major Courses is increased by two to include the non-English component of the General Education requirement in the Foundation Year.

               2.   The list of General Education requirements is correspondingly reduced to reflect this language-specific change. 

At present, the School offers the following undergraduate programs:

·         Chinese Language (AA, BA)

·         English Language, comprising

-  Business English Communication (AA, BA)

-  English Language and Literature (BA)

-  English Language Translation and Interpretation (AA, BA)

-  Teaching English as a Foreign Language (AA, BA)

·         French Language (AA, BA), as well as

-  French Language for International Relations (AA, BA)

·         Japanese Language (AA, BA)

·         Korean Language (AA, BA)

An important recent development is UC’s involvement in the CONTESSA Project.

The Contemporary Teaching Skills for South Asia (CONTESSA) project is an EU-funded Erasmus+ programme for Capacity Building in Higher Education. It aims to promote learner-centred teaching practice: rather than being a top-down instructor, the teacher should try to be a guide and facilitator for the personal development of individual students. The project is coordinated by the University of Graz in Austria with the Technical University of Dresden in Germany. The University of Cambodia and Paññāsāstra University have been the Cambodian partners in this enterprise and there are two Sri Lankan universities also actively involved.

A series of five modules related to the use of modern teaching techniques in primary education have been designed for blended and distance-learning approaches. The material covers best practices related to E-Education, subject and learner-centred teaching methods, the role of teachers in the educational sphere, diversity in the classroom and other topics crucial to modern-day teaching. It is designed for use both as course material for degree programmes and for Train-the-Trainers Workshops to help trainee and existing teachers to further develop and upgrade their pedagogical skills.
 

1. CHINESE LANGUAGE

The Associate’s and Bachelor’s degree programs in Mandarin Chinese will enable students to gain fluency in the four macro language skills, including those related to business and other professions; as well as exposing them to Chinese culture through exposure to literature and other studies. We expect that students graduating with an Associate’s degree will have the opportunity to work at an appropriate level in their chosen language; they can also then pursue their Bachelor’s degree in the same major. The greater language proficiency and a deeper knowledge of the literature and of teaching methodology means that graduates with a Bachelor’s degree are more competent to communicate effectively and thus have a wider range of job opportunities, including the possibility of teaching the language with confidence.

The Associate’s and Bachelor’s degree programs in Japanese will enable students to gain fluency in the four macro language skills, including those related to business and other professions; as well as exposing them to Japanese culture through exposure to literature and other studies. We expect that students graduating with an Associate’s degree will have the opportunity to work at an appropriate level in their chosen language; they can also then pursue their Bachelor’s degree in the same major. The greater language proficiency and a deeper knowledge of the literature and of teaching methodology means that graduates with a Bachelor’s degree are more competent to communicate effectively and thus have a wider range of job opportunities, including the possibility of teaching the language with confidence.
