Bachelor of Arts - French/Spanish

The Department of Modern Languages & Linguistics offers instruction in three languages: French, Japanese and Spanish (beginner to advanced).

In today's globalized context, students of modern languages are being prepared for membership in a global community that extends far beyond the boundaries of the English-speaking world. Modern Languages is about far more than just learning how to communicate in another language. It’s about exploring other identities and values through language, literature, history and culture in a global community.

Thanks to the small class sizes, innovative instructors and the latest in language-learning technology, this program makes language learning a lively and satisfying experience. At the beginners' and intermediate level the program teaches students to communicate with native speakers, orally and in writing, and introduces them to the everyday life of the speakers of French and Spanish as well as to their music, films and books. They can continue their study of spoken and written French and Spanish to an advanced level.

Graduates who study French/Spanish will gain awareness of other cultures through courses in language, literature, and culture and civilization, and through academic and living experiences in Canada or abroad.

Classes are taught in the language being studied — so, French courses are taught in French and Spanish classes in Spanish. Students can specialize in one language or study a combination.
