EIU Department of Foreign Languages

"I can honestly say that had it not been for the personal attention and confidence placed in me by the faculty of the EIU Foreign Language Department, I wouldn’t be living the dream I am today!"

"The more I look back at my undergraduate experience at EIU, the more I realize just how fundamental these years were to my personal and academic development. Above all else, I am indebted to the Department of Foreign Languages and its faculty for providing such a nurturing and rewarding academic environment.”

"EIU instilled in me a relaxed, caring nature and a culture of practical excellence that prepared me to be effective in the real world. I didn't even realize this at the time though, because I was too busy having so much fun."

"As a tutor of German in the lab, I discovered the importance of adapting my teaching style to different learners, while my experience teaching German in the after-school program at Newman Elementary School gave me the confidence to teach in front of a class. Until that program, I did not realize how much I love teaching.”
