World Languages

Chairperson: Marianna Ruggieri-Marletta  [email protected]

The study of a World language requires a developmental approach and implies a progressive acquisition of linguistic skills. The values gained from learning a language will be related to the amount of time and effort devoted to it. The study of another language brings about a gradually expanding and deepening knowledge of the country, people, geography, history, social institutions, and culture of the people who speak that particular language. As a result, our students acquire a better perspective of our own culture.
