Department of International Communications and Culture Annual Report, 2007-2008
(1) Major Department Accomplishments
A. Five graduate level certificate programs in bilingual education were approved by the State Education Department.
B. Internationalization - Paulo Quaglio developed and implemented SUNY Cortland local assessment of academic language skills for incoming international students. Improved academic integration and support of international students is essential for making internationalization work. - In conjunction with this, Quaglio also developed CPV 400-519 (Internship in TESOL) and served as the internship coordinator. This practicum for undergrad TESOL students is designed to give them extra teaching I tutoring practice (in collaboration with Victoria Boynton, CPN 100 & CPN 101) as it provides needed English language academic support for international students. - ESL academic support was also enhanced through the revision of 3 ESL courses. - Quaglio is also assisting Lara Atkins (International Programs) in implementing a Conversation Partner Program to improve the experience of our International students.
C. Second Language Educator's Conference: A Conference for Second Language Teachers and Teachers in Training (SLEC) was organized at SUNY Cortland by Patricia Martinez de la Vega Mansilla and Paulo Quaglio on Saturday, September 15th, 2007.
(2) Progress in Improving Diversity
A. Staffmg
ICC, typically of language departments, has a diverse faculty and a curriculum that tends to support diversity. American Sign Language courses are a prime example of this. In addition, part-time faculty currently on staff include Myriam Benincore-Posse from Columbia and Hayder Assad a refugee from Iraq.
B. Faculty Activities
Colleen Kattau organized a talk by AfroColombian activist Marino Cordoba. Susan Kather organized a talk by Jorge Estevez, a representative ofthe Smithsonian National Museum ofthe American Indian who gave a lecture titled "Who Discovered Columbus?" Estevez is a Taino from the Dominican RepUblic. Wes Weaver organized a visit by international literary scholar Professor Maria Isabel L6pez Martinez of the University of Extemadura, Caceres, Spain. Bob Ponterio organized a faculty exchange that allowed Sandy Gutman (history) to spend the summer in La Rochelle (location ofone ofour international programs) and brought Michael Ogeron, a historian from the Univerite de La Rochelle to SUNY Cortland to teach a summer session graduate course "France and North America: Yesterday and Today" in French. Paulo Quaglio is co-coordinator with Lara Atkins ofthe International Student Learning Community. Mark Cerosaletti participates in the World First Freshman Learning Community. Hongli Fan is faculty advisor for the Asia Pacific Student Union and played a major role in a faculty visit to China in summer 2007.
Note that on the negative side, ICC was not able to support parts ofan initiative for a relationship with Azerbaijan Diplomatic Academy because ofseverely limited and over extended department resources.
C. Program Initiatives
The first ofour dual-diploma students in TESOL completed their course work at Cortland before returning to Turkey for their final year. Paulo Quaglio has been perfonning many ofthe duties ofdual-diploma program coordinator in the absence of a permanent coordinator.
(3) Assessment
NCATE : A Simulated Oral Proficiency Interview (SOPI) is under development using WebCT and Wimba voice tools. A number ofICe faculty have been working on this and/or training in the ACTFL oral proficiency interview (Fan, Gerhard, Helsper, Ponterio, West) in preparation for meeting ACTFLINCATE standards for teacher education certification.
Plans for modifying the graduate offerings in ICC, specifically strengthening the discipline specific content and adding an MAT, are in response to our assessment of student perfonnance based on comprehensive exam results and feedback from potential students, current students, and alumni. (See curriculum development below.) (4) Department Plans
I. For next year
A. Administration
Bob Ponterio will enter his second year as chair ofICC; Jean LeLoup will be on leave for another year, teaching at the US Air Force Academy; Tina Christodouleas will continue for a secoOnd year as Coordinator of Adolescence Education for ICC; Colleen Kattau will continue serving as Graduate Coordinator for ICC; Paulo Quaglio will continue as coordinator for TESOL; Tim Gerhard will continue as coordinator for French; Wes Weaver will continue as coordinator for Spanish.
B. Staffmg, Full-time
Codruta Temple will stay for a second year as Visiting Assistant Professor teaching Foreign Language Teaching Methods while Jean LeLoup is away.
C. Staffing, Part-time
Thierry Torea, a native French speaker and Cortland graduate student, will again teach a French course for us. We may need to open an additional section of SPA 201 , requiring an additional requiring an additional adjunct position.
D. Curriculum Development
A one credit graduate course associated with the Masters comprehensive examination was proposed this year and will be resubmitted in the fall.
ICC will explore the possibility of establishing an MAT in Second Language Education to continue growing our successful graduate program by serving a popUlation ofstudents that used to be served by our MS.Ed. and the alternate route to NYS certification. This would be designed to increase the enrollments in existing French and Spanish graduate courses.
ICC plans to modify the course requirements for the MS. Ed. by removing EDU 671 and adding an additional discipline specific requirement in order to enhance content area performance.
We are exploring the possibility ofbringing back our Gennan minor as well as creating a low resource approach to offering language minors via study abroad options that would allow a student to take 15 credits of a minor abroad and add a single three credit, 300-level course at Cortland for a total of 18 cr. hrs. E. Assessment
We will begin Oral Proficiency Assessment to meet NCATE accreditation standards.
F. Technology
We plan to upgrade our department Media Classroom (OM 224) with a 57" plasma panel, replacing an old CRT monitor, and digital document camera, thus making the room more conducive to using film in a 9x16 fonnat and improving the ability to use computer displays in this space. The ICC Language Lab will also be upgraded for digital display, replacing an old and malfunctioning Extron.
G. Tournees Film Festival
Tim Gerhard is working to continue the Tournees film festival, bringing French cinema to campus.
II. For the next 5 years
A. TESOL
Our TESOL program and ESL support structures continue to grow, far outpacing our resources. As anticipated, if we are to be successful, we need to stop our "strategic stretching" and provide adequate resources to support these initiatives through an additional TESOL line. Minor curricular modifications are also planned by our TESOL staffto further enhance the program.
