Resources Modern language students have access to a newly renovated language laboratory. A director and assistant supervise your lab work, which is an integral part of the program. Tutoring and help with translation are available at all times. If you want to study abroad, you will be able to receive full credit at NU when enrolled in programs in France, Germany, Russia, Spain or Mexico. If you wish to have an intensive language experience in Spanish closer to home, you can participate on campus in the summer language house program, which offers second-year classes.
Students eat breakfast and lunch as a group, using Spanish in all classes and activities.
The Kawasaki Reading Room for Japanese Studies was established in 1992 through a grant from Kawasaki Motors Manufacturing Corporation, U.S.A., in Lincoln. It houses a sizable collection of books and other reading materials relating to Japanese language and culture, including reference books, encyclopedias, historical and geographical atlases, videos, film and several periodicals and newspapers. The room is also available for use by Japanese conversation groups, for consultation, and for tutoring. Another newly established center for research, for Latin American studies, was built around a special collection donated by the internationally recognized Instituto Caro y Cuervo in Bogota, Colombia. Activities Students who major in a foreign language may enjoy being involved with the honorary societies or clubs of each language.
