Outcomes

The ability to use a language other than English to communicate, present and interpret information is essential to succeed in the 21st century. Additionally, it is important to have the knowledge and experience necessary for the understanding of other cultures and worldviews, in order to fully participate in multilingual and multi-cultural communities locally, regionally and globally.

  1. Students use non-English language interpersonally and interpretively to communicate and present on familiar topics in daily situations.
  2. Students gain and demonstrate appreciation of a different culture’s customs, practices, products, and perspectives on familiar topics.
  3. Students compare their customs, practices, products, and perspectives on familiar topics with another culture.
