帝王会所

The Graduate Student Handbook contains important information on the M.A. program in Spanish in the Department of Modern Languages at 帝王会所, such as departmental policies, regulations, requirements, etc. Although most of this information is specifically departmental, some of it also concerns the College of Arts and Sciences and the University. For further details in these areas, you should consult the Graduate Catalog for your entry year.

• See Department Administration

The Department of Modern Languages is part of the College of Arts and Sciences.   15 full-time faculty members teach language, linguistic, culture, literature, and translation courses in their respective languages,  French, German, Italian, and Spanish. We offer B.A. majors in Spanish and French, minors in Spanish, French and German, certificates in Italian and German Studies and an M.A. degree in Spanish. The department services the College鈥檚 language requirement as well as the requirements of other colleges and teaches approximately 2,000 students each year in the 1000- and 2000-level sequence.

The study of language is fundamental to the liberal arts tradition of higher education. As a department that offers major, minor, and/or certificate programs in French, German, Italian, and Spanish, the Department of Modern Languages firmly believes that language learning adds multiple dimensions to education. Consequently, we are committed to helping students develop their communicative and intercultural competence and to teaching students how to analyze cultural and literary texts, access and evaluate multiple points of view, develop life-long learning strategies, and become familiar with research methods. We guide students in their development to gain an appreciation of diversity and to think critically in our courses in literatures, cultures, pedagogy, linguistics, translation, and film. Students in Modern Languages acquire tools needed for professional success as global citizens.

Successful graduates of our M.A. programs will:

1. Analyze literary and other cultural products and practices through appropriate theoretical and historical lenses.
2. Demonstrate understanding of phenomena in different subfields of Hispanic linguistics.
3. Implement teaching strategies in line with current language acquisition theories.

The M.A. program in Spanish prepares students for a range of professional pursuits. Our M.A. graduates often pursue doctoral work in Spanish language and literature, others teach Spanish in institutes and schools, and some work in non-teaching careers in business, government, or administration. The M.A. program emphasizes familiarity with Hispanic cultures and cultural products, analytic skills, teaching methodologies, as well as oral and written communicative competence, all of which apply to numerous professional fields. Students are encouraged to discuss career goals with the Graduate Advisor and any other member of the faculty as soon as they begin their studies. It is also helpful to visit the Center for Advising, Career and Experiential Learning (Baker Center 417) where students can seek advice and tap into many resources for career planning. Visit the Department of Modern Languages for a listing of possible careers.

Graduate students should acquaint themselves with the major professional organizations and societies and their publications. Of special interest are the American Association of Teachers of Spanish and Portuguese (AATSP), which publishes Hispania; and the Modern Language Association (MLA), which is responsible for the MLA International Bibliography and the MLA Handbook, the standard reference for graduate student academic papers. Also of interest are the American Council for Teachers of Foreign Languages (ACTFL), which publishes Foreign Language Annals and administers the official Oral Proficiency Interview, and the National Federation of Modern Language Teachers Association (NFMLTA), which publishes the Modern Language Journal. These organizations have inexpensive student membership rates, and students should consider joining at least one of them. 

There are also regional MLA organizations and regional AATSP and ACTFL organizations. These groups meet on a regular basis, have special programs, and will be of interest and value to graduate students. They provide students with professional contacts and a good look at the profession as it operates in other institutions and other areas of the country.

There are numerous opportunities during the academic year to attend regional conferences such as the 帝王会所 Foreign Language Association Conference (OFLA), the 帝王会所 Latin Americanist Conference (OLAC), The Kentucky Foreign Language Conference (KFLC) and the Cincinnati Conference on Romance and Arabic Languages and Literatures (CCRALL).

Special areas within Hispanic studies also have their own organizations. Examples are the Instituto Internacional de Literatura Iberoamericana (Revista Iberoamericana), Linguistic Society of America (LSA, Language), the American Association for Applied Linguistics (AAAL, Applied Linguistics) and the Latin American Studies Association (LASA, Latin American Research Review - LARR). For additional information on these groups, consult any faculty member whose focus is the area in question. 

帝王会所 and the city of Athens sponsor various organizations and events related to languages and cultures that provide an excellent opportunity for graduate students to learn and to become a more integral part of the university and Athens communities.

1. Sigma Delta Pi (National Collegiate Hispanic Honor Society, founded in 1917): The department sponsors a chapter of Sigma Delta Pi, Pi Rho/Tau founded in 1986. Membership is open to both undergraduate and graduate students. Most of our faculty are also members. Those interested in membership in the society should contact Dr. Esther Hern谩ndez Esteban for information. This award-winning organization is very active and requests your participation in all events. 
2. FLES (Foreign Languages in Elementary Schools): Graduate and undergraduate students are encouraged to participate in community service by teaching Spanish at area elementary schools. Contact Anne Scott for information.  
3. Translation Club: The club hosts guest lecturers to describe the details and process of translation, and interpreting workshops for practical purposes and fostering a dialogue between different languages. See Dr. Mar铆a Postigo for information.
4. International Education Week: This week of activities to celebrate global education takes place on campus in November. All students and faculty are encouraged to participate in the many presentations and events. More information can be found on the IEW website.
5. Graduate Student Senate: In recent years, M.A. students from the Department of Modern Languages have served as representatives on Graduate Student Senate (GSS). GSS is one of the five shared governance bodies within 帝王会所 administration and acts as the official representative body of graduate students enrolled at 帝王会所. If you are interested in serving, please visit the GSS website.

Graduate students in the M.A. program fund their studies in several ways: a) self-pay, b) external funding such as Fulbright scholarships, c) internal funding with Graduate Recruitment Scholarships, or d) internal funding with Teaching Assistantships. Students with Graduate Recruitment Scholarships and Teaching Assistantships must fulfill service to the department.

Recruitment Scholarship Recipients

Students who have been awarded a Graduate Recruitment Scholarship (GRS) offer service to the department. GRS students perform 5 hours of work per week in Modern Languages according to departmental needs. Duties will vary but may include: working at the front desk, performing clerical duties, organizing and leading Conversation Hour, helping with the planning and implementation of departmental events, requesting updates to the department website, participating in the FLES program, tutoring, etc . The Department Chair and/or Graduate Chair will assign tasks to the student at the beginning of each semester or on a weekly basis, as needed. While some duties will be consistent week by week, there may be weeks with a lower load (less than 5 hours) and weeks with a higher load (more than 5 hours). Students on GRSs are permitted to work an additional 15 hours beyond their duties to the department. Students may not work more than 20 hours a week, either on or off campus. For more information about graduate appointment policies, please visit the Graduate College.

Teaching Associates

Students who have been awarded a Teaching Assistantship (TAship) teach courses in the department. TAs provide a minimum of 15 hours of instructional service to the department per week. During the first year, TAs are assigned to teach one class per semester. During the second year, TAs might be assigned to teach 2 classes (2 sections of the same class) in the fall and one in the spring. TAs usually teach the first-year Spanish level: SPAN 1110 or 1120 but might have the opportunity to teach 2110 or 2120  if needed.

A detailed description of TA duties and expectations will be given during a mandatory orientation session before the beginning of fall semester and will be reinforced in teaching methods courses. In general terms, these duties include (but are not limited to):

• Abide by all procedures related to lesson planning, use of Spanish, placement test, assessment, office use, printing and copying, use of computers and departmental common areas, substation policies and absence policies.
• Attend the orientation. All first and second year Graduate Teaching Associates are required to attend orientation activities, normally during the week prior to the beginning of fall semester. Orientation is mandatory for all TAs and no exceptions will be made. It is the responsibility of every TA to make the necessary arrangements to arrive in Athens in time to attend the orientation sessions.
• Hold office hours (also called student drop-in hours). TAs are required to hold a minimum of 2 weekly office hours: one hour on two separate days and two different times (for example, Tuesday 2:00-3:00 pm & Friday 10:00-11:00 am or by appointment). TAs are expected to be flexible and willing to meet their students during office hours and to make the necessary arrangements if a student has a conflicting schedule and requires an appointment outside of the regular hours. All Teaching Associates have assigned offices, which they may share with other TAs. Teaching Associates receive a key that will open the building, some classrooms, and their office in Gordy Hall. This key must be returned before the teaching associate leaves the department permanently. It is very important that every TA understand offices are a shared space and they need to respect the presence of others.
• Attend organized events that contribute to their professional development. These might include attending the colloquia, workshops/webinars on language instruction and conferences, as well as department meetings when invited guests or agenda items are relevant to TA professional development.
• Organize and run Spanish Conversation Hour (La hora de conversaci贸n).

Supervision and Evaluation of Duties

TAs are guided, supported and assessed by the Language Program Director  (LPD) who serves as the TA Supervisor. In this role, the LPD evaluates TAs鈥� performances through classroom observations. Through this process, TAs get feedback on their teaching, and the department obtains a record of the TAs鈥� performance. Observations are one of the ways of making sure the program is proceeding smoothly and consistently as we aim to achieve consistency and uniformity in all steps delineated by the syllabus and program guidelines. After each observation, meetings between individual TAs and the Language Program Director will be scheduled for the Director to share the observation evaluation with each TA and to address any concerns, questions and/or suggestions so that the TA and the Director may work together comfortably. All constructive criticism will be taken into consideration, and all TAs can expect the Director鈥檚 ongoing support as long as the guidelines and professional behavior are observed. Observations can occur in the form of class visits or videotaping/recording the class.

Additional Information

Guiding Students:

• Language placement: There is no placement test required for students who either have had no previous Spanish language instruction or who wish to begin in SPAN 1110. If a student has studied Spanish previously and wants to enroll in a class at a higher level, they must take the placement test. Please refer them to this  link.  If a TA believes a student is overprepared (or the student themselves would like to move up to a higher-level class), please refer the student to Dr. Muriel Gallego for SPAN 1110 & 1120, Carisa Trapp for 2110 & 2120, or Dr. B盲rbel Such for all other classes.
• Accessibility Services: TAs will be trained on how to proceed with students with documented disabilities. Any questions or concerns should be first discussed with the TA Supervisor. For further information, contact access@ohio.edu.

Extra employment:

• Students on TAships are strongly discouraged to accept employment in addition to their teaching duties as TAs, especially during their first semester.  As per the Graduate Appointment Information and Policies, students on TAships are only permitted to work an additional 5 hours beyond their 15 hours of teaching. This policy applies to work on and off campus. International students are only allowed to work on campus.
• If a student wishes to tutor for extra employment, a few rules apply:
  • Time spent working as a tutor counts toward the 5 additional hours per week mentioned above.
  • You may not tutor a student taking a course in the series you are teaching. For example, if you are teaching SPAN 1110, you cannot tutor a student enrolled in any section of 1110 or 1120. You may, however, tutor SPAN 2000 level.
  • You may not tutor students currently enrolled in your classes and receive payment for such tutoring.

Spanish language classes offered during the summer might be taught by TAs and/or faculty members. If TAs are appointed to teach summer courses, the compensation is in addition to the normal stipend. Since there are fewer classes available than instructors interested in teaching, TAs should not automatically expect a summer teaching assignment. We assign summer teaching at the end of spring semester using the following criteria:

• Previous teaching performance based on classroom observations, course evaluations, and input from the TA Supervisor. The TA Supervisor does not oversee summer teaching; therefore, summer instructors must be qualified to work effectively independent of direct supervision.
• Experience.
• Financial/professional/academic need: TAs who need compensation in order to remain in Athens may receive preference, for example.
• Academic performance: TAs who have performed well in their academic program will be considered more qualified for summer assignments.
• Previous summer or prior additional assignments: A TA who has taught two sections during one semester in the previous year might not be considered for summer teaching, for example.
• Year in the program: First-year TAs receive summer assignments before second-year TAs for 1000-level classes, provided the first-year TAs meet several of the above criteria. Second-year TAs receive lower priority because they will have completed our program by their second summer.

As the above policy indicates, the process of distribution of summer teaching assignments is complex. We are determined to make decisions based on fair and reasonable application of the criteria and we request your understanding that we cannot accommodate everyone.

The Department of Modern Languages faculty recognizes one outstanding Graduate Teaching Associate each spring. The College of Arts and Sciences established this prestigious award in 1972 to recognize the contributions of outstanding Graduate Teaching Associates at 帝王会所. The  department hopes that this award will encourage graduate students to strive for excellence in teaching. The recipient receives a modest monetary award and a certificate of recognition from the College of Arts and Sciences. The TA Supervisor proposes a candidate to the Spanish faculty for confirmation taking into consideration classroom observations (her own and those of other TAs), course evaluations, contributions in SPAN 5640 and 6920, as well as cooperation and collaboration with other instructors in the language program. Although excellence in teaching is the key criterion, the awardee must also have demonstrated academic strength.

The Spanish M.A. requires the successful completion of four semesters of graduate-level course work, in which students/TAs must enroll in a total of 48 hours (TAs will enroll in a total of 50 hours).

• Read about Degree Requirements and Course Offerings.

Additional Language Study

Students who wish to take additional languages may enroll in 3 credit hours of course numbers 51XX of the corresponding language. After enrolling in 51XX, the student attends a regularly scheduled undergraduate language class at the level appropriate for the student鈥檚 proficiency (1000 through 4000). Students must identify and contact the instructor of that class prior to the first day of the semester to obtain permission to attend. These courses do not count toward the M.A degree requirements in Spanish. In most cases a grade of CR will be assigned for these courses.

TEFL Certificate

The Linguistics Department offers course work leading to a certificate in Teaching English as a Foreign Language that students can complete, along with the M.A. in Spanish, by taking one additional course per semester.

Dual M.A. Degree

Students with an interest in International Development, Latin American Studies, Linguistics, or other related disciplines may wish to complete two M.A. degrees. Usually this requires one additional year of course work. Funding in the form of a TAship from the Department of Modern Languages is not guaranteed during the third year.

Exchange Program with the Universidad De Sevilla

Second-year graduate students who are native or near-native English speakers may apply to participate in an exchange with the Universidad de Sevilla, Spain. The student will spend the second year of the M.A. program teaching English and taking classes in Sevilla, and return to the Athens campus to complete the M.A. in their third year. For more information, visit the Office of Global Opportunities or contact Carisa Trapp.

Academic Standing

The Graduate Chair reviews the academic standing of all graduate students at the end of each semester. The College of Arts and Sciences requires a minimum overall grade point average of 3.0 (B) to maintain a teaching associateship (TAship), GRS or any other financial aid.  The department requires a 3.0 GPA in courses that count towards the Spanish M.A. degree. No grade below a C (73%) can be used to satisfy any degree requirement. Students who fall below 3.0 in required classes will spend the next semester on academic probation during which time they must raise their average in required classes to above 3.0 or lose their stipend and scholarship. If a student receives a C- (72%) or below in any of the required classes, they must take an additional graduate class in the same area and receive a C or above. Graduate classes are not retake-able, so it is not possible to replace a grade by retaking the same class.

Grievance Procedures

If a graduate student has a grievance concerning course work or teaching duties, he or she should first discuss the complaint directly with the instructor or supervisor involved. If this action does not resolve the problem, the student should then consult the Graduate Chair, then the Chair of the Department, and then the Associate Dean at the College of Arts and Sciences. The department convenes a grievance committee for issues that remain unresolved, and students have recourse to university resources such as the Office of the Ombudsperson.

Funding Continuation

Funding continuation is not guaranteed. Funding with a TAship is contingent upon support from the College of Arts & Sciences and satisfactory completion of TA duties. The TA Supervisor evaluates all TAs every semester (through observations, feedback during class and/or meetings, etc.). If a TA's teaching is not satisfactory, the TA Supervisor will meet with the TA to clarify departmental expectations and to offer additional training and support. This meeting will result in a timeline for improvement with benchmarks and options for additional observations. Meeting the benchmarks is critical for continued TA funding. Funding with a GRS (Graduate Recruitment Scholarship) is contingent upon support from the College of Arts & Sciences and satisfactory completion of service to the department. Contact Carisa Trapp for more information.

Academic Integrity

The Spanish graduate faculty is committed to preserving academic integrity in the M.A. program and expects all graduate students to be familiar with and adhere to its basic tenets. Plagiarism and other forms of academic misconduct are unacceptable forms of behavior and will not be tolerated. All students are subject to the provisions in the 帝王会所 Student Code of Conduct and are advised to review the Code carefully. The Code defines plagiarism as follows:

Plagiarism: Using another鈥檚 work, in whole or in part, without acknowledging the source and presenting that material as one鈥檚 own academic work. This includes, but is not limited to: 

1. Reproducing another person's work, whether published or unpublished (this also includes using materials from companies that sell research papers)
2. Using another's ideas or written words without properly acknowledging the source.
3. Quoting a source word for word without providing quotation marks and citations.
4. Copying words or ideas from a source without appropriate citations.
5. Submitting work that is substantially identical to another source in content and/or organization without appropriately citing the source.
6. Using other intellectual property in a work without appropriate citations, permissions, or rights (when applicable). Intellectual property includes but is not limited to images, videos, software programs, computer code, or pieces of music.

For further explanation of plagiarism and its significance, the  (MLA) is a good resource.

Completing assignments through use of translating programs and/or artificial intelligence (AI) tools such as ChatGPT is not permitted. Submitting work generated by such tools will be considered plagiarism and thus a violation of the Student Code of Conduct.

If you have any doubts as to what constitutes plagiarism and/or other forms of academic misconduct, you must consult your professors and/or the Graduate Chair for clarification. Failure to conform to the Code of Conduct will result in academic consequences such as failing the assignment, failing the course and/or dismissal from the program.

Writing According to Professional Conventions

Graduate students of Spanish literature and linguistics form part of a community of scholars that requires its members to follow certain disciplinary conventions adopted to facilitate the pursuit and exchange of knowledge. These conventions include drafting all papers according to a strict set of formatting and citation rules. Each student must take responsibility for familiarizing oneself with the MLA Handbook for Writers of Research Papers (9th ed.) for papers in literature classes and the APA - Publication Manual of the American Psychological Association (7th ed.) for papers in linguistics. Alden Library holds multiple copies of both style manuals, which are also readily available for purchase at a reasonable price. In addition, various on-line resources offer overviews and summaries. An excellent resource guide to formatting in MLA and APA styles is .

Professional Conduct

As a TA or GRS, you are an employee of the Department of Modern Languages at 帝王会所. Your behavior should reflect in a positive way all the policies, goals, and objectives of the department. Both TAs and GRSs show professionalism by arriving on time, dressing professionally, and preparing to fulfill their respective duties and responsibilities. Your decisions about appropriate behavior should be based on university policies and information found on the Office of Community Standards and Student Responsibility website.

Socializing with students is inappropriate, and dating a student is unacceptable behavior under university policies. Sexual harassment and misconduct is subject to disciplinary action 鈥� even in sexual relationships of mutual consent, there is a clear conflict of interest. TAs who initiate such relationships or who take part in relationships initiated by the student will be dismissed from the program.

Students in their final semester of course work for the M.A. degree must complete two final assessments: a comprehensive written exam and an oral presentation, normally beginning the twelfth week of spring semester of their second year of the program. If a student wishes to postpone the exam and presentation, they will need to petition the Spanish graduate faculty through the Graduate Advisor. If the petition is granted, the student will need to register for at least one hour during the semester in which they plan to complete the final assessments. Due to visa considerations, international students may have additional conditions for postponing the exam and presentation and should consult with International Student and Scholarly Services. Funding may not be available for any additional semesters.

Comprehensive exams and presentations assess student achievement of learning outcomes listed on p. 3 of this handbook. Students should consult regularly with their professors for advice on preparation beginning in the first semester of the program. In addition to course work, it is the responsibility of the student to read all material on the reading list and contextualize the readings historically and critically. This includes consulting the suggested readings and thoroughly reading all texts and selections - whether they are covered in class or not. Questions on the written exam may come from any part of the reading list in addition to any materials covered in the four semesters of class work. All content areas: literatures and cultures of all regions covered, language, and linguistics are of equal importance.

Each student will have a comprehensive exam committee comprised of Spanish faculty. The Graduate Chair will finalize the comprehensive exam committee chairs and members by the middle of fall semester. Students must successfully complete each portion of the final assessment to be awarded the M.A. in Spanish.

Comprehensive Written Exam

The written exam serves several purposes: to assess the student鈥檚 familiarity with works covered in classes and the reading list, confirm understanding of pertinent vocabulary, general concepts and movements in literature, culture and linguistics, and test the student鈥檚 ability to think critically and express themselves clearly in writing. The written exam may include multiple choice, matching, short answer and essay questions and will be completed over several days. The short answer and essay portions may be written in Spanish or English.

Oral Presentation

The oral presentation will be completed in Spanish and will include a presentation about a topic of interest to the student, followed by conversation and questions from those in attendance. To prepare the presentation, students will work closely with their committee during their second year of study and periodically submit portions of the presentation for review and feedback. The presentation should be thoughtfully researched, prepared and presented, which will take a considerable amount of time during the second year of study.
