17 Modern Languages Course Programs

Study in the Department of Modern Languages and Literatures aims to deepen the understanding of other languages and cultures and is characterized by its immersive approach. Students may major or minor in Arabic, Chinese, French, German, Italian, Japanese, Russian and Spanish. An innovative curriculum of introductory courses in American Sign Language (ASL) is also offered.

Modern Languages, Literatures, and Cultures is a multidisciplinary field group encompassing curriculum and programing in both languages and cultures and in writing. We invite students to see languages and literacies as social practices. Based on the assumption that communication is always situated, the field group-across its domains of interdisciplinary expertise-engages students to speak, write, and read within communities of practice as co-producers of knowledges. In praxis- and community-based courses in languages, writing, and teaching, students investigate the cultural production, circulation, and uses of communicative practices, exploring how language shapes and is shaped by its diverse practitioners. Students are also equipped with skills to participate meaningfully in the intellectual life of the college and beyond and to reflect critically on the ways in which language mediates identity, power, and culture.

Live it and learn it! That’s our mantra in the Franklin College Department of Modern Languages. Experience language, culture, literature, cinema, and art both inside and outside the classroom with other students and faculty who are passionate about them. Visit museums, attend Fiesta Indianapolis, study abroad in Spain, Cuba, or France, live in the Modern Language House, conduct undergraduate research, and more. Develop your language skills, engage in critical thinking, and build cultural awareness, all of which are essential tools for caring and committed local, national, and global citizenship.

Discover how people who are fluent in multiple languages and can empathize with different cultural viewpoints are able to build bridges between people, cultures and nations. At Dawson, you can choose from a wide selection of languages: Spanish, Italian, German, Mandarin (Chinese), Hebrew and Greek. In addition, you will be introduced to a variety of cultural, historical and linguistic aspects of those languages. This profile offers exciting learning opportunities, such as a student exchange trip to Germany, an internship in Spain and one-on-one time with German and Spanish language assistants. Students may pursue the German language diploma (DSD I), a DELE Spanish Language Certificate, a CILS Italian Language Certificate or the Certificate in Hellenic Studies.

A World Languages minor would be especially attractive to students who enjoy studying foreign languages. Students who have had four or five years of foreign language in high school often take the AP or CLEP exam, receive 9-12 credits through the 201 or 202 level, and then decide they would like to continue their foreign language experience. By having the option of a World Languages minor, instead of only a Spanish minor or a French Cultural Studies or Italian Cultural Studies minor, students might choose to take a second, and even a third, foreign language, all of which place a strong emphasis on culture and oral communication skills.

These courses are aimed at students from Entry 2/3 level to Level 1-2. This course is for students whose first language is not English and who wish to study, work, or live in the UK.
