About the Center
The Facilitated Language and Tutoring Center (FLTC) offers a physical space (located in Peck Hall 2310) that is conducive to language practice through collaboration and interaction. In accordance with the communicative emphasis in Department of Foreign Languages courses, the FLTC seeks to foster a language learning community, supporting activities that provide students with meaningful structured and unstructured interaction and context-based reinforcement and practice.
In our coordinated suite of learning spaces (Peck 2311, 2313, 2315, 2315b) the FLTC hosts many of the department’s conversation hours as well as some of our language courses.
We also offer proficiency tests in French, German, and Spanish for students with previous experience in those languages. Based on their scores on the proficiency exam, students can be placed in an appropriate level course and they may earn up to 16 semester hours of credit. There is no charge for the exam which may be taken only once per language.
Stop by to study or practice your language skills, take a proficiency test, or get information on FLL courses and degree programs.
“Language is more than a system to be explained… Language is culture in motion. It is people interacting with people.” - Sandra Savignon, Communicative Competence: Theory and Classroom Practice. Addison-Wesley, 1983.
