WORLD LANGUAGES Faculty: Nelda Lazo-Fuentes (FS), Janina Starr (PY) Degree: Associate of Arts (AA-DTA) Foreign language study includes learning to speak, read and write a language, and gaining exposure to the culture or cultures that use that language. It also includes the development of an under- standing of how a language is structured and of problem-solving abilities using that structure. Pierce College’s World Languages department offers European and Asian languages, as well as American Sign Language. Most courses are three-quarter sequences at the introductory level. These courses meet the entrance and graduation requirements for foreign languages of most four-year programs. Students should verify requirements with their intended transfer institution. Intermediate level courses are available depending on demand, in both Spanish and ASL. Advanced placement is available to students with prior experience in the language. Interested students should contact the depart- ment. Students planning to transfer as foreign language majors or minors or in area studies should complete AA-DTA requirements to be admitted with junior standing and should contact the appropriate department of the transfer institution regarding specific require- ments and transferable credits.
