Our modern language classes are not just about learning a new language – though of course attaining a high level of fluency is one of the goals. At SJA, the modern language courses emphasize both language proficiency and cultural understanding. Fluency and accuracy of language are the basis for effective communication. At the same time, students can relate to the cultural aspects of the language they are studying through authentic written and multimedia materials.
