(Subjects previously prefixed MLC or LANG are not to count with corresponding
subjects that now have a language specific prefix.)
English Language Studies
The English Language Studies (ELS) major provides two orientations: a
TESOL (Teaching English to Speakers of other Languages) orientation leading
to a professional qualification in TESOL if further study is undertaken
in the Faculty of Education, and an English for professional purposes
orientation.
A major in English Language Studies for Non-English Speaking Background
(NESB) students consists of 58 credit points, and must include 18 cp at
100-level, 16 cp at 200-level and 24 cp at 300-level, as set out below.
A major in English Language Studies for English Speaking Background (ESB)
students consists of 52 credit points, and must include 12 cp at 100-level,
16 cp at 200-level and 24 cp at 300-level, as set out below. Students
who are uncertain whether they should be in the NESB or the ESB stream
must consult the ELS co-ordinator.

Entry To Honours
Students wishing to enter the Honours program should have completed a
major in the appropriate language. At 300-level an average of credit performance
or better is required. Joint Honours candidates must have satisfied the
requirements for admission to Honours in both languages.
Japanese
Major Study: The Japanese major is intended for students enrolling
for BA or BA,BCom. BA and BA,BCom students take the same Japanese major
subjects. There are three possible entry points, beginners, post-HSC or
advanced. For beginners, the major consists of 90 credit points, for Post
HSC, 66 credit points and for advanced speakers, 60 credit points. A feature
of this course is a compulsory period of study in Japan. Entry into the
major is restricted in all streams. Advanced stream students are required
to successfully complete a placement test. The Post HSC stream is designed
for students having successfully completed either 2 unit or 3 unit Japanese
at a NSW high school or equivalent. The Japanese major articulates with
the NSW TAFE Certificate 3 in Japanese. Students wishing to study beginners
Japanese but NOT major are encouraged to take JAPA151 in Session 1 or
JAPA101 in Summer Session.
Students who discontinue in Japanese language subjects and then decide
to re-enter the course, provided they have the appropriate pre-requisities,
will be allowed to re-enter only after successfully completing a re-entry
test.
The Modern Languages Program has had considerable success in obtaining
funding and scholarships to assist with the costs of travel and residence
in Japan. However, funding is not guaranteed and students in either the
double degree or the BA may need to meet the costs associated with travel
and accommodation for any periods of study in Japan.

Students wishing to enter the Honours program should have completed a

or better is required. Joint Honours candidates must have satisfied the
requirements for admission to Honours in both languages.
Comparative and Combined Literature
Subjects in comparative literature enable students to examine the way
in which a wide range of writers from different countries examine the
same or broadly similar themes and problems - the individual and society,
the experience of the First World War, and the position of women. The
writers studied are mostly European, but each subject has an Australian
dimension. Texts are read in English translation, although students majoring
in a language are expected to read texts written in that language in the
original.
