The World Language
Department is committed to preparing students to compete in an
ever-increasing global society.
Second language
acquisition is a skill necessary for careers and for life in the
21st century. Barbara
Wallraff in her article “What Global Language?” from the
November 200 issue of The Atlantic Monthly states that
“English isn’t managing to sweep all else before it – and
if it ever does become the universal language, many of those who
speak it won’t understand one another.”
Because language and
communication are essential keys to students’ success, the
main objective of all programs will be the gradual and guided
acquisition of speaking, listening, reading, and writing skills.
All programs will use the customs and literary heritage
of the language being studied as material in the development of
these skills. The
completion of the program will provide students with the
proficiency necessary for continued language learning at the
university level and will give students the “extra” edge in
their careers.
Most colleges and universities require at least two years
of study for admission.
