The College is committed to providing students with a liberal arts
education, thus languages play an essential part at Dartmouth. Undergraduates
study languages intensively and have the opportunity to polish their language
skills in Lyon, Toulouse and Paris (France) or Rome (Italy). Dartmouth is
renowned for its extraordinary success in language instruction using the
Dartmouth Intensive Language Model, developed by Professor John Rassias, former
Chair of the French and Italian Department.
Both French and Italian are taught from the beginning levels as a
combination of intensive grammar and culture. In fact, the programs in French
and Italian are designed for students interested in languages, literature, and
cultural; social; political and economic issues in France, in Francophone
countries, and Italy. Courses in French and Italian allow students to begin to
know and understand French and Italian cultures and their roles in today's
unified Europe. The variety of departmental offerings complements the diversity
of students' interests and reflect the spectrum of research fields among French
and Italian faculty.
