A second language is useful in professional life, and necessary for understanding other people in the world. Learning another language in this era of globalization will open many doors for you in intellectual life and in the job market. Study of another language increases understanding of your own first language and contributes to success in other areas of study. Knowledge of linguistics helps you to understand how languages are constructed and function, it also leads to careers in areas such as Speech and language pathology, communication, etc. Our faculty members are active in research areas as diverse as eighteenth-century French literature, contemporary Latin American narrative, German women writers, Québec literature, the contemporary French novel, literary translation and translation studies, literary theory, second language acquisition, language teaching methodologies, linguistics, English, German, and Russian language structures, heritage languages of Saskatchewan, and other areas. |
