1 Department of Foreign Languages and Literatures John Ivers, Department Chair Matt Alba, Robert Colvin, Brian Felt, Scott Galer, Chris Geddes, Steve Hunsaker, John Ivers, Ed Kumferman, David Rock, Bob Schwartz, Lei Shen, Alan Taylor, Kirk Widdison Denise Merrill, Secretary (208) Benefi ts of Learning a Foreign Language Ours is a world in which social and business interaction between peoples of varied backgrounds and languages is increasingly possible and important. Ability in a foreign language opens windows to that world. It facilitates enjoyment and learning when traveling, increases awareness of culturally diverse peoples, and affirms the oneness of the human family. It also enhances career opportunities. Many careers rely heavily on foreign languages, including medical, travel, law enforcement, diplomatic, geography, and education. Employers in these fields expect that foreign language users will speak to them with some ease. In addition, knowledge of a foreign language prepares students for graduate school. Many masters and doctoral programs require knowledge of one and sometimes two foreign languages. The Department of at BYU Idaho builds speaking, listening, reading, and writing skills and cultural awareness in five languages: Chinese, French, German**, Russian, and Spanish. Students will find programs to meet their needs in the following areas: - A Spanish education major - A Chinese, French, German, Russian, Spanish, or TESOL education minor - A non-education language minor in Chinese, French, German, Russian, Spanish, Afrikaans, Albanian, Arabic, Armenian, Bulgarian, Cambodian, Cantonese, Cebuano, Czech, Danish, Dutch, Estonian, Farsi-Persian, Finnish, German, Greek (modern), Hungarian, Icelandic, Indonesian, Italian, Japanese, Korean, Latvian, Lithuanian, Mongolian, Navajo, Norwegian, Polish, Portuguese, Romanian, Serbian, Croatian, Swedish, Tagalog, Thai, Ukrainian, and Vietnamese. These minors are not available to native speakers of those languages. Credit by Exam Returned missionaries and others with extensive non-academic foreign language experience may test out of 101, 102 and 201 and begin their studies at the 202 level (02 for Spanish). For information about foreign language credit by exam, visit our department website at Native speakers are ineligible for these exams. Because credit and time constraints are tight, students with high school language experience should begin their studies at the highest level possible. For more information, visit or a teacher in the language you wish to study.
