LITT/LANG COORDINATOR'S REPORTAcademic Year 1987-88

Jeanne-Andrte Nelson, Coordinator

The program's curriculum for the academic year 1987-88differed somewhat from the curriculum of the previous years bothin Literature and Languages.

Regarding the Literature courses, we alerted our studentsearly in the Fall 1987 of the new curriculum to be in place in1988 so as to let them opt early for a traditional or a newtrack. A copy of the new curriculum is attached to this report.It is a very ambitious project (six tracks in all), and has thefull support of all the members of the program. Itsimplementation has been severely jeopardized by problems createdby forces beyond our control. Our first choice candidate for theBritish Lit/Communications accepted the position in February andreneged on it in March. The future of our announced courses inTheory of Communications and Journalism remains uncertain at thisdate.

Because of the difficulty we had in finding suitablecandidates for the position, we had to modify the jobdescriptions. We are now looking for an instructor of BritishLiterature and an instructor of Communications/Electronicpublishing for Fall 1989. These two positions will replace thelines of Dr. Gerry Enscoe, who retired Summer 1987 and of Dr.Klukoff, who resigned as of November 1987.

Finally, we have been able to fill our French/Spanishposition for Fall 1988. Our new faculty member, AntonioCalderon, will teach three courses in French and three inSpanish.

We also decided to offer the three courses, Introduction toFiction, Introduction to Poetry and Introduction to Drama, asoften as we saw fit instead of every third term as we had done inthe past.

We retitled our LITT 2100- The Study of Literature toApproaches to Literature.

We offered our first year French and Spanish courses in theGEN category which accounts for the big drop in our totalLITT/LANG enrollments this past year. However, the Languagecourses offered either under the GEN acronym or the LANG acronymwere lower than the previous years due to the fact that our newFrench/Spanish instructor broke his contract in the Summer,forced us to cancel one section of Spanish and to hire adjunctson the spur of the moment. The Intermediate French course taughtby an adjunct last Fall showed the lowest final enrollment ever

2

in that course (lack of experience and not lack of knowledge onthe part of ~he adjunct).

We graduated ten Litt/Lang majors last year. Staci Lighthas been accepted at Brandeis University, Perrie Prince willenter the Public School system next Fall 88 as an Englishteacher, and Lee Wochner has been accepted in the CreativeWriting Program at the University of Southern California.

In the Fall of 1987 we had 46 declared Litt/Lang majors and42 intended majors.

The freshmen preceptors for the Program were:James Hollis, Fred Mench and Pia Walters.

Professor Kenneth Tompkins

Prof. Tompkins has been the faculty primarily irwolved indesigning and implementing the new LITT/LANG curriculum. As aresult of those efforts, two positions were announced --- EnglishLiterature and Communications and English Literature andElectronic Publishing. The first position was filled but ourappointee later withdrew; the second received no viablecandidates so has been withdrawn for this year.

He also wrote a proposal for the establishment of anelectronic publishing lab within the present Microlab area. Hewas granted $28,000 for software and hardware; five statiollS willbe teady at the beginning of the Fall semester when he will teacha course on Electronic Publishing.

He designed a pamphlet for prospective majors entitled"Being a Literature Major". It will be used by the AdmissionsOffice and on Visitation Days.

This year marks the tenth year he has attended thearchaeological dig at Wharram Percy -- a Deserted MedievalVillage Site in Yorkshire, England. For the last three years hehas been the Chief Guide. This season three Stockton studentswill accompany him. Finally, he is writing a children's storyabout a boy who might have lived at Wharram Percy in 1385.

The LITT/LANG program this year was in a state oftransition. We never really knew whether or not the vacantpositions would be filled with the desirable candidates toimplement our new tracks. Furthermore, the Electronic Publishingtrack, which received encouraging support from the consultant -­Professor Chappell from Towson State -- was approved and fundedby the Stockton· administration in late Spring only. Thesedevelopments made it d·ifficul t for us to advert iseand recT'u:itFreshmen during Campus Visitation days. In the Spring, Prof.Tompkins suggested that we design ~ brochure to distribute

6

amongst prospective majors (High Schools as well as Stocktonstudents) to get their attention and answer some basic questions.The brochures are available throughout the campus.

Last year we were looking forward to a "full complement offaculty and to stability of curriculum" for 1987-88. We havefilled only one of the three vacant lines and must reopen thesearch and screening process for the other two this coming year.We have modified our job descriptions to enlarge the pool ofcandidates, but our chances of attracting qualified and committedpeople appear to be slim. We have reached the tenure quota inour program and while we continue to advertise for tenure-tractlines, the quota situation speaks otherwise, and the candidates(those we interviewed" last year) were quick to grasp the truthbehind the claim.

Our new curriculum, however, seems to have stabilized. Weare all looking forward to its implementation, especially theDesk Top Publishing track, which has generated the most interestamong visiting High School students. We must all recognize therelentless efforts and the enthusiasm of its initiator, ProfessorTompkins. The opening of the new Desk Top Publishing Lab must becredited to his persistence, conviction, and commitment to theprofessional future of our majors.

The core is designed to provide +:he toolsnecessary for successful completion of a track.-Students will learn how to read --a text, how toidentify the qualities of the traditional genresin western literature, how to recognize theelements of continuity in literature, and how tocriticize a text. The student will also have somefundamental experience in the three main streamsof western literature -- European, British, andAmerican. As a junior and senior the student willenroll in two or more seminars where he/she willbe required to synthesize his/her knowledge abouta major author or period.

The program is open to any Stockton student withan interest in literature and language. There areno specific entrance requirements other than thedemonstrated ability to write acceptableexpository prose. (However, for some optionsinvolving foreign languages, some prior experienceis advisable.)

The primary medium of the program is language; thefaculty assumes that those wishing to pursue aLITT/LANG degree will be proficient in their own

THE TRACKS

THE GRADUATESCHOOL TRACK

The program offers six tracks: Graduate School,Pre-Professional, Literature and Language,Communications, Electronic Publishing and CreativeWriting. Each of these tracks is a sequence ofcourses drawn from this program and from otherprograms in the college which should preparestudents for a career. Tracks are the programsrecognition that students have legitimate desiresto enter the workplace after graduation even witha major in one of the humanities.

The tracks are conceptually broad and inter­disciplinary. For example, a student followingthe Electronic Publishing track will takemanagement courses, computer courses, graphicsdesign courses, advertising courses and writingcourses. The program believes that this eclecticapproach is exactly what the market place isseeking.

This track is designed for those students whodesire to continue their literary studies ingraduate school. It is based on the assumptionthat such students need a curriculum of breadthover all type and periods of literature and depthin one or two periods or authors. The programalso strongly advises students in this track toacquire a reading knowledge of another language.
