Foreign Language Proficiency. Where verbal or written proficiency in a recognized foreign language is a substantial requirement for a position, the employee will have a minimum of 5% of her/his base rate of pay premium added to her/his base rate of pay. This premium may exceed the grade level maximum. Where an employee leaves the position with the language proficiency requirement, or the requirement is eliminated, the premium will be removed from the employee's rate of pay. This premium will be effective on or after the date of this agreement for those employees who can demonstrate that a bonafide language proficiency requirement exists for their positions (if such premium was not a previously included factor in determining their present bases).
Foreign Language Proficiency. The foreign language requirement for the B.S., B.M. and B.F.A. may be satisfied by presenting a high school transcript which demonstrates two years of study of a single foreign language (passing grades at second-year level of study). It may also be satisfied by 6 hours college credit in the same language, which must include language courses 1713 and 1813, or equivalent proficiency (e.g., passing an advanced standing examination; TOEFL exam; presenting a high school transcript which demonstrates the high school was primarily conducted in a language other than English; etc.). Computer Science courses may not be used to satisfy this requirement.
Foreign Language Proficiency. Employees who have demonstrated conversational proficiency in a foreign language shall receive three percent (3%) premium pay for any month during which the employee is used for translation of their designated language for work related purposes. Language skills will be confirmed by testing, an agreed upon language specialist or such other method as the City shall reasonably determine.
Foreign Language Proficiency a. The foreign language requirement for the B.A. may be satisfied by 9 hours college credit in the same language, which must include 3 hours at the 2000-level, or equivalent proficiency (e.g., passing an advanced standing examination; TOEFI exam; presenting a high school transcript which demonstrates the high school was primarily conducted in a language other than English; etc.). Computer Science courses may not be used to satisfy this requirement. Currently Arabic and Muskoke are not offered at the 2000-level at OSU.
b. The foreign language requirement for the B.S., B.M. and B.F.A. may be satisfied by presenting a high school transcript which demonstrates two years of study of a single foreign language (passing grades at second year level of study). It may also be satisfied by 6 hours college credit in the same language, which must include language courses 1713 and 1813, or equivalent proficiency (e.g., passing an advanced standing examination; TOEFI exam; presenting a high school transcript which demonstrates the high school was primarily conducted in a language other than English; etc.). Computer Science courses may not be used to satisfy this requirement.
c. In addition to a. and b., students pursuing teacher certification must meet novice-high foreign language proficiency by presenting a high school transcript which demonstrates two years of study of a single foreign language with no grade below B. Or, students may complete 3 hours college credit in a single language with no grade below C (or pass an advanced standing examination, College Level Examination Program (CLEP) exam, or Oral Proficiency Interview developed by the American Council on the Teaching of Foreign Languages, equivalent to 3 hours of college credit.) Or, students may meet the requirement by transfer of documentation of meeting the foreign language competency from one of the teacher education programs in the State of Oklahoma approved by the Oklahoma State Regents for Higher Education.
