INTRODUCTION
The Board of Studies in European Languages (UG), University of
Calicut, has designed altogether 29 courses in the Foreign Languages (FL) –
French (F), German (G), Russian (R) and Syriac (S) as additional languages for
the B.A/B.Sc/B.Com Programmes based on the outlines prepared by Kerala
State Higher Education Council. They include Common courses, Open
courses and Elective courses.
The common courses comprise:
1)
Communicative skills in French/German/Russian/Syriac
2)
Translation and Communication in French/German/Russian/Syriac
3)
Literature in French/German/Russian/Syriac
4)
Culture and Civilisation of France/Germany/Russia and Syrian
Traditions in comparison with Kerala culture;
Four Open Courses designed are:
1)
French for Hotel Management and Tourism
2)
German for Tourism and Hospitality Management
3)
Russian for Business and Tourism
4)
Cultural History of Syria
The Elective Courses offered are:
1.
Concepts of Comparative Literature
2.
Women’s Writing (in Russian Literature); and
3.
History of Syriac Literature.
The new curriculum has been designed taking into account the
linguistic, intellectual and cultural requirements of the students. The major
objectives of the courses are to familiarize the learners with a modern foreign
language French, German and Russian and with the classical language Syriac;
to enable them to acquire proficiency in the target language and also to
familiarize them with the literatures produced in these languages. The
Communicative Language Courses will help the learners to develop the skills to
read, write and speak in the particular language effectively and efficiently.
The Translation and Communication Courses will enable the learners to develop
skills to interpret and translate from and into the target language. Besides, by
familiarizing with the literatures produced in the other languages a learner can
not only increase his/her aesthetic values but can have a close understanding
6
of the target culture. Learning a
Foreign Language will definitely
enhance the intellectual and cultural competence of the learner and enable
them to acquire maximum levels of proficiency in the Foreign Language that
they learn. The Open Courses are mainly special purpose courses (need-based)
to meet the requirements of the learner. The Elective Courses offered includes
the newly emerging disciplines of comparative literature and women’s
literature. The objective of the Comparative Literature Course is to develop
the ability to critically analyse literary texts in a broader perspective of world
literature. This will help to cultivate cross cultural awareness of the learner.

берегу Азовского моря. Чехов рано начал работать, помогать
семье; Когда учился в гимназии, давал уроки , чтобы

учёбы в университете он публикует свои первые
юмористические рассказы. В 1884 году опубликован первый
сборник его рассказов. Чехов становится известным писателем.
Всё творчество Чехова тесно связано с жизнью русского
народа. Любимые герои Чехова – это всегда люди труда ,
крестьяне, трудовая интелигенция . Чехов верил в великую
силу труда , верил в людей труда. Он мечтал о лучшем
будущем своей родины , мечтал о времени , когда вся россия
станет прекрасным садом.
Сам Чехов не уставал служить своему народу. Врач по
профессии , он бесплатно лечил людей, построил на свои
деньги сельскую больницу , помогал всем , кто к нему
обращался.
Жизнь писателя была коротка , он умер в сорок четыре
года , в 1904 году. Но произведения , которые он создал за 25
