About our department
Mission Statement
The Language Department faculty of Eastern University believes language learning is a vital part of a liberal arts curriculum and of particular importance to a Christian in the 21st century. . Our objectives as a department encompass the standards of our national professional organization The American Council on the Teaching of Foreign Languages (ACTFL), as articulated in the Standards for Foreign Language Learning in the 21st Century: 5Cs: http://www.globalteachinglearning.com/standards/5cs.shtml. These national standards include: Communication, Culture, Connections, Comparisons and Communities. As an evangelicial Christian university, our department also recognizes Since Jesus Christ is the center of our Christian faith here at Eastern, our department also incorporates reflection and praise of our faith in Christ as part of our curriculum. "He is before all things, and in him all things hold together." (Col. 1:17)
