GOETHE ON LANGUAGE: "HE WHO KNOWS ONE, KNOWS NONE."

Lake Michigan College offers courses in French, Italian, Japanese, Polish, and Russian in accordance with an instructional format developed by the National Association of Self Instructional Language Programs (NASILP), a 150-member organization of colleges and universities engaged in self-directed foreign language study.

These courses are taught in learner-cerntered format incorporating weekly 2-hour drill sessions conducted by native speakers. Students work with textual materials which incorporate audio and or audiovisual components. The drill instructor ensures control of spoken language at normal conversational pace with correct pronunciation. Those taking the course for credit will be examined at the end of the semester by a NASILP certified language instructor.

LMC also offers French, German, and Spanish taught in the traditional classroom format. Spanish is also offered as a Telecourse.

Self-instructional audio programs in Afrikaans, Hebrew, Hungarian, and Swahili can be checked out from the LMC Library.
