Why study a language?
Students learn the practical skills of speaking, listening
comprehension, reading, and writing, while also building
enhanced analytical and critical thinking skills. Language is
one of the foundations of cultural diversity and the
program helps students better understand their own
heritage.
Study Abroad Opportunities
The Modern Languages Department offers a summer
program in France at the University of Nice, where EWU
students and professors study the language and culture
together.
Other opportunities to study in locations across the globe
can be coordinated through the Study Abroad Office.
