理解语言不仅仅是简单地知道如何翻译，还需要沉浸于其文化和历史中。我们提供各种课程，将文学，语言学和文化纳入西班牙语学习。除了与他们的导师和彼此互动互动之外，我们强烈鼓励学生出国学习。我们在加勒德路德会的西班牙语课程的目标是精通英语，并且高度了解西班牙文学和文化。为了实现这些目标，我们提供了多种课程，从语言到文学，语言学和文化。我们大多数的专业和未成年人都从事教学，一些进入私营企业，一些进入政府服务。我们的计划试图通过为这些学生做好准备，使其适应日益多元化和面向全球的社会以及竞争激烈的职业世界，从而满足他们
Understanding a language is more than simply knowing how to translate; it requires an immersion in its culture and history. We offer a wide variety of courses that incorporate literature, linguistics, and culture into the study of the Spanish language. In addition to working interactively with their faculty mentors and each other, we strongly encourage students to study abroad. The goals of our Spanish program at Cal Lutheran are proficiency in the language and a high degree of familiarity with Hispanic literature and culture. In order to achieve these goals, we offer a wide variety of courses, from language through literature, linguistics and culture. Most of our majors and minors go into teaching, some into private industry and some into government service. Our program tries to address itself to the needs of these students by preparing them for an increasingly pluralistic and globally oriented society as well as a competitive career world. To that end and because language and literature are inseparable from a cultural context, our program has a strong cultural orientation. In all of our courses, we strive to develop in our students an understanding of as many aspects of Hispanic culture and civilization as possible in conjunction with the subject focused on. We also place a strong emphasis on developing students’ critical thinking skills in all our courses and many are conducted in Spanish in order to develop students’ proficiency in the language.
