About the program
The goal of the French programme at The University of Texas at Arlington is to develop deep translingual and transcultural competence.
In addition to development in the four basic language skills — speaking, listening, reading, and writing — a major aim is to gain understanding of the diversity of human culture as represented in several of the world’s languages, literatures, and other cultural media.
Ultimately, these aims contribute to the development of well-rounded and well-informed 21st-century global citizens who are not only able to communicate and interact with others locally, nationally, and internationally, but who are also able to reflect on the world and themselves through the lens of other languages and cultures.
