The Department of Foreign Language provides instruction that helps students develop the ability to communicate orally and in writing in a variety of foreign languages. Instruction is provided in a context that heightens students’ awareness, understanding, and appreciation of foreign cultures. The department strives to equip students with language skills that will enhance employment opportunities and allow them to interact and function more effectively in an increasingly diverse and global society.
Students planning to transfer foreign language courses numbered 1300, 1301 or 1310 to a university should consult the registrar’s office of the senior institution regarding the transferability of these courses before enrolling in them.
Foreign Language courses are offered in two formats. The 1300, 1301 or 1310 series focuses on conversation, and may be transferred to a university as electives rather than a language credit. Students planning to transfer foreign language courses in this series should consult the registrar’s office of the senior institution. The 1411, 1412, 2311 and 2312 series of foreign language courses fulfill partial requirement for Humanities at San Antonio College. These courses transfer to universities as language credit and allow for a full range of placement and proficiency.
Courses are offered in Arabic, Chinese, English as a second language, French, German, Italian, Japanese, Latin, and Spanish.
Spanish
The Spanish Program offers traditional Spanish courses that develop speaking, listening, reading, and writing skills. Certain sections of these courses, identified in the schedule of classes, are specifically designed to better meet the needs of bilingual students.
English as a Second Language
The English as a Second Language Program (ESOL) provides four levels of English study. Each level contains a course in reading, composition, grammar and conversation. In addition to 4 levels of English, the program offers a series of courses - English for Academic Purposes (ENGA) in composition, grammar, and reading which prepare students for college level work. New students are placed in the program based on their scores on a placement test.
