In a world increasingly shaped by a global economy, international events, and world-wide communication, knowledge of another language and culture is an advantage in any career. Coursework in the Department of Language and Foreign Studies (LFS) at American University, taught in the target language, provides solid language skills and depth of cultural understanding in a number of language areas: French, German, Japanese, Russian, Spanish, and TESOL (Teaching English to Speakers of Other Languages, tesol@american.edu).
