Foreign Languages

The Foreign Language Department houses the Spanish major and minor, and the teaching endorsement in Spanish. Beginning, intermediate and advanced topics courses in French are offered.

Foreign languages play an important part in college education, not only are they important as an academic study, but they open a window to other cultures and offer us invaluable insights into the way we communicate.

Foreign language courses at Indiana Wesleyan University stretch beyond topics such as vocabulary and grammar to cover idioms, cultural context, literature, current events, and even humor. Students are offered opportunities to converse with native speakers through numerous study programs, special speakers and trips to an area Spanish-speaking church. They are also encouraged to read books and periodicals in the language they are studying, as well as watch TV programs and movies.
