Intermediate Language Courses Students reinforce and enlarge their communicative skills in the language through conversation, reading, and writing. They are encouraged to use the language creatively through acting, singing, and other activities. Reading selections are both cultural and literary.
Students also make use of current newspapers, magazines, films, and tapes.
Advanced Language Courses Advanced language offerings reinforce students' competence in the spoken language, stressing the finer points of pronunciation. Through composition and revision, students solidify knowledge of advanced grammatical structures. The course work also allows students to develop cultural perspectives through the study of literature and civilization.
