Lisa Lewenz , who was a Copeland Fellow sponsored by the Department of German in 1996, has completed her film A Letter without Words . The film has been screened at the Sundance Film Festival and the Berlin Film Festival. Foreign language courses are the best-kept secret on campus.
Many students arrive with enough skills to test it out of a college's language requirement.
57 percent of those interviewed again after leaving college recommended not testing out. Classes are small, instructors insist on participation, students work in groups, and assignments include lots of written work and frequent quizzes, allowing for repeated midcourse corrections. In short, foreign language courses combine all the elements that lead to more learning and more engagement. With your permission, we will add your message to other alumni submissions at this site. Our warmest greetings to all of you, The German Department faculty .
