Department of English & World Languages
Students at Silver Lake College celebrate language and literature because
they learn about themselves, others, and the world around us. Writing stylishly,
reading thoughtfully, and speaking sensibly are integral to the Department of
English/World Languages and its mission in liberal arts education. Students
learn to use language precisely and ethically so they can think critically and
express their ideas persuasively. As students discover themselves writing well,
they learn to read well; in the process, they realize that literature and
language are sources for growth, creativity, and understanding.
The department includes the academic disciplines of English and Spanish. Department programs, grounded in Franciscan values, are directed towards preparing students for the professional challenges of the future.
