MODERN LANGUAGES

Associate Professor—Almeda Lahr-Well (Department Head)
Assistant Professor—Brian Reinhard

Modern Languages | Spanish | Spanish Education

Seeking to encourage understanding and appreciation of other peoples and cultures, the Department of Modern Languages makes available elementary and intermediate courses designed to give students skill in communication in the foreign languages. Advanced courses improve language ability as well as offer an appreciation of literary masterpieces and cultural backgrounds.

Individualized practice in basic skills is considered essential. The equipment and materials for audio-visual lingual learning experiences and practice are in the audio-visual center.

Graduates in modern languages find careers in teaching foreign languages, teaching English as a second language, and in bilingual education; others find their language ability useful in social service organizations, church work, missionary service, government service, business, and library science.

The modern language major leads to a bachelor of arts degree, and requires 32 credits above the elementary level in more than one language.
