Foreign Language
Learning modern foreign languages gives students a knowledge and understanding of other cultures and the oral and written proficiency to use a foreign language. The study of foreign languages and cultures also aims to prepare students to be more productive citizens in an increasingly competitive world community.
Culver-Stockton College offers four foreign language study programs in conjunction with Rosetta Stone - French, Italian, German and Spanish. The program combines advanced interactive technology with native speakers and a rich visual environment to mimic the process we use to learn our first language. It starts simply and builds. You hear the new language, see a pattern of images and make connections between what you hear and the images you see.
No text is required. However, students must have a quality USB headset and access to a computer outside of class. Each level and language includes four units.
Course grades are based on the following:
Unit activities (70%)
Mid-term and Final tests (15%)
Attendance (15%)
Level one courses are offered during the fall semester, level two courses will be offered during the spring semester.
