Students learn to speak and understand foreign languages, study how languages are learned, and (if desired) explore how to teach language to non-native speakers. Students also become knowledgeable about and sensitive to cultural differences through exposure to the perspectives of people who speak other languages, enabling them to reflect critically on their own cultural practices. Faculty research in the School focuses on language, literature, cultural studies, and linguistics to show how language is intertwined with all facets of life. The Community
