World Languages
Welcome to the Department of World Languages at the Kendall Campus, where you can learn English as a Second Language (ESL) for Academic Purposes as well as American Sign Language, French, German, Mandarin Chinese, and Spanish. We take pride in a program that integrates the latest linguistic methodologies in grammar, writing, reading and speech, which are taught by highly qualified and experienced faculty.
Our goal is not only to impart excellent knowledge of the language you wish to learn, but at the same time, to give you a better understanding of the culture whose native language you undertake, for it is our conviction that through communication with others, we can together achieve mutual understanding.
