BA in French/Spanish in Lethbridge Canada | University of Lethbridge

The Department of Modern Languages & Linguistics provides courses in three languages: French, Japanese, and Spanish (from beginner to advanced levels). In our interconnected world, modern language students develop skills to engage with international communities beyond English-speaking regions. Studying modern languages goes beyond mere communication—it involves discovering different perspectives, values, and traditions through linguistic, literary, historical, and cultural exploration within a worldwide context.

With small class sizes, creative teaching approaches, and cutting-edge language technology, we create an engaging and rewarding learning environment. At introductory and intermediate levels, we focus on developing oral and written communication skills while immersing students in the daily lives, media, and literature of French and Spanish speakers. Advanced studies allow deeper mastery of these languages. All instruction is conducted in the target language. Students of French and Spanish will broaden their cultural understanding through language courses, literary studies, and civilization studies, complemented by domestic or international immersion opportunities. Courses are taught entirely in the language of study—French classes in French, Spanish classes in Spanish. Students may concentrate on a single language or pursue multiple languages.
