II. APPROVAL OF THE MINUTES, DECEMBER 4, 2009 – confirmed via e-mail III. SUBCOMMITTEES Discussion Items: ▪ Confirm subcommittee chairs and memberships ▪ Future process to identify chairs, guidelines for membership, and representation Ginni May asked for volunteers to assist with writing guidelines on selection of subcommittee chairs to include guidelines for subcommittee membership. This information will appear in the next Curriculum Handbook. Laurie Perry volunteered to be the lead on this project.

IV. INFORMATION ITEMS A. Spring 2010 Calendar, catalog addendum: The committee was asked if a new spring calendar could

be developed to include spring technical review dates for courses and programs that could appear in the catalog addendum. Some concerns were that the program review schedule should remain in the fall semester to leave room for spring reporting, and UC transfer and ASSIST information would need to be clearly stated. A draft calendar will be presented at a future meeting.

B. PPC List: Ginni reported that all possible new programs must be on the Program Placement Council

approval list before tech review will begin. Mary Turner has asked for clarification of the PPC process.

C. Courses numbered 495: The committee discussed a request to approve an independent studies course

out of the regular approval cycle. Discussion ensued, and the outcome was to confirm Curriculum Committee policy that courses go through the regular approval process.

V. OLD BUSINESS None.

Faculty Initiator: Tatyana Wright


Last Full Review:


Official: No


Explanation: This is a new course to the district. There have been mulitple requests for the college to teach Russian as a conversational course.

Identifier: RUSS 101

Title: Conversational Russian, Elementary

Units: 3.00

Prerequisite: None.


Description: This is a first semester introduction to the Russian language. It is designed for beginning students with little or no previous exposure to the language. It is characterized by an emerging ability to understand and produce appropriate responses in high-frequency situations and common expressions needed to communicate in everyday life. Emphasis will be on conversation and correct pronunciation. Students will acquire knowledge of the geography, Russian culture, customs, and people of regions where Russian is spoken.

Instruction methods include lecture, discussion, small group role plays, oral exercises, multimedia presentations, speech modeling. The focus of instruction will be on communicative content, with instruction done primarily in the Russian language, which is made comprehensible through the use of visual and linguistic clues. Class sessions are characterized by the use of simplified language, clarification of responses and comprehension checks, cognates, confirmation, and teacher/student and student/student interaction.


Homework will be assigned primarily from the textbook, audio CD, and class handouts. Example #1: “Немного о себе”: Bring 5 pictures about your family, your life or your friends to class. Be prepared to describe yourself, the members of your immediate family, or your close friends. The description should include physical characteristics, personality traits, and likes and dislikes. Example #2: Prepare a dialogue about meeting another person in Moscow Airport. Audio record the dialog for review by the instructor.


Assessment will be focused on communication of ideas orally in small groups, in pairs, or individually.



38

Periodic exams and quizzes will assess the communication of ideas orally with sufficient accuracy not to impede conceptualization of meaning. Evaluation of listening comprehension will include contextualized material incorporating culturally appropriate basic vocabulary from content presented in the classroom activities. Evaluation will include the useable knowledge of grammar necessary for comprehensible oral production. There will be short written exams, with the emphasis on oral presentations done in the classroom.

The Russian language is spoken by 150 million citizens of Russia and many more millions living in parts of the former Soviet Union and throughout the world. Moreover, the Russian language and its cultures have been a strong historical influence in our geographic area (120,000 in Sacramento alone, and growing!) The Russian language and its cultures have strong historical and present-day connections worldwide in many important fields of study: such as art, art history, architecture, music. Many people are interested in the conversational aspect of learning Russian. (The Sacramento Police Department, in particular, has requested this class, as have students who are involved in international business, particularly

Advisory To: None.

Department Planning:

The department has prioritized the expansion of foreign languages offered to better meet the needs of the community. With the high incidence of Russian speakers in our geographic area, there is a strong need for this course in our curriculum.


No major impact on other courses, with the possible exception that students may prefer to take this course instead of the transfer level course that teaches more extensive grammar and writing. However, there appears to be a strong need from the community for a non-transfer level course.

Los Rios Impact: This course is not offered at any other Los Rios college at this time, so it won't draw any students from our sister colleges.

Staffing: Current staffing is available to teach this course.

Facilities: No special facilities will be required; this course can be taught in a standard classroom. Some instructors would prefer to teach in a SMART classroom.


None are needed for this course.

Typical instructional methods are lectures, demonstrations, laboratory experiments, and small group problem solving / discussion sections. Lectures: students are asked to read material for lecture ahead of time. Homework will be assigned for each lecture topic. Some sections may use on-line homework systems. Small-group discussion/problem solving sessions: instructor or students propose a problem or a set of problems and the students work in small groups to solve the problems. Laboratory experiments that illustrate the concepts discussed in lecture and the laboratory techniques needed by working scientists. Students sometime work with a partner or group, and each group is free todiscuss with other students the accuracy and meaning of their results. The first 30-45 minutes of each laboratory period is devoted to introduction of the theories and logistics of the current experiment and/or evaluation of understanding of previous experiment(s).
