Apr 2026 · 2nd Semester

The goal of studying modern languages is communicative competence. This introduction course introduces students to language and develops novice-level proficiency in speaking, listening, reading and writing. At the end of the course, students are expected to reach a Novice Mid-Novice High proficiency level and be able to engage in simple conversations within the limits of practiced vocabulary and structure. Students will also gain perspective and insight into the cultures of the countries where the language is spoken. Classes are conducted in the language as much as possible.
