	Cornell College - Department of Classical and Modern Languages
		The educational philosophy of the Department of Classical and Modern Languages is essentially humanistic: through the mastery of a language different from those in which students have been raised, it is expected that students be able to understand the culture and history of the people who speak that language.
		Modern language classes are taught in a communicative approach and almost entirely in the target language.
		The classical languages are taught with more emphasis on Grammar and reading skills; several communication type activities, however, such as role-playing, games and theater performance are also implemented in order to use both the analytical functions in the left brain as well as the psychomotor, intuitive and social skills in the right hemisphere.

	SSC Foreign Languages: General FAQ
		Many 'foreign' language departments have changed their name to "'modern languages department" (modern languages, as opposed to classical languages, such as Latin or Greek), or to "world languages department' (meaning that they teach major languages of the world).
		Every language which extends beyond a small village where everybody knows each other, has a number of "varieties" associated with a region or with a group of people (such as social class) ("variety" is a neutral term that linguists sometimes use instead of "dialect").
		For a language to have a standard variety is a good thing since it allows one to communicate more effectively with a wider range of people.
