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 evangelical Christian university, we seek to honor Jesus Christ in our classes by including reflection about our faith in Christ as a part of our curriculum. "He is before all things, and in him all things hold together." (Col. 1:17)
