Mission & Learning Outcomes
The Modern Language Department seeks to provide effective language training in the context of the Christian faith and the cultures of the respective languages that we offer. At the general education level we desire to provide an understanding of the nature of language as well as a moderate level of command of the selected language (French and Spanish). For the student who is serious about developing a mastery of a language, we offer a Spanish major and minor that are strongly focused on preparation for service in Spanish-speaking contexts. The objectives of the Spanish major are: 1) to develop the Spanish language and cultural skills of students who seek to be servants in Spanish-speaking environments in the US and abroad; 2) to provide significant hands-on experience in serving in these environments; and 3) to guide the students’ development of the holistic integrative reasoning that is necessary to successfully serve others.
