The department of Modern Languages & Literatures offers programs in French, German, and Hispanic Studies, as well as an emphasis in linguistics. These programs enable students to begin or deepen their knowledge of a second language and then explore great works of literature in their original tongue. Language courses are offered at all levels from introductory to advanced, and strive to develop competence in understanding, speaking, reading, and writing. Literature courses give students a broad acquaintance with the variety of works written in the language, while helping them develop the critical abilities necessary for their proper appreciation. It is the department's goal to give students completing its programs an understanding and appreciation of the culture and civilization of the peoples who speak the languages it teaches.
Dedicated to small group teaching, French studies at Trent offers an array of courses on French language, Francophone cultures and literatures and linguistics. As a central feature, the year-abroad program in Nantes (France) gives students majoring in French an opportunity to develop and refine their knowledge of French in a European context.
These courses are intended as guidelines. Speak to your guidance counsellor to see what courses are offered at your school.
