1992-1993 Academic Catalog

128 Language and Literature Foreign Language The Language and Literature Department believes that a living language can be learned properly only as the student masters the pronunciation, develops the ability to understand both the spoken and written language, and is able to express himself intelligently in a number of cultural contexts. The general education requirement in foreign language is satisfied by completing two years of the same modern or classical (Latin, Greek) language in high school or by successfully completing the final term of an elementary foreign language in college. Language students are encouraged to consider the Study Abroad Program of the Christian College Coalition, which is described under Special Programs of Study.
