Department of Modern Languages at University of Prince Edward Island
UPEI’s Department of Modern Languages provides its students with the opportunity to study various languages and to obtain a good grounding, but also sees languages within their appropriate cultural contexts. In other words, the acquisition of languages is seen as a vehicle to enter the thought, history, literature, and cinema within which each of the languages is associated.
We communicate our enthusiasm for language and civilization via various techniques, including experiments with computer-assisted teaching and learning. The Department strongly believes that no one really knows his or her own mother tongue until another language has been added to one’s own.
