Welcome!

In a world where interdependence characterizes our economic, social, and cultural relations, the need for knowledge of modern languages and a comprehension of world cultures becomes more and more critical.

The study of languages and cultures opens the door to an infinite array of possibilities, including a competitive edge in the job market.

Credit And Non-Credit Courses
Oakton Community College offers college credit courses in Arabic, Chinese, French, German, Hebrew, Italian, Japanese, Korean, Polish, Russian, and Spanish. Alliance for Lifelong Learning, the adult and continuing education consortium for Oakton’s district, offers noncredit conversational courses in a variety of languages. Please see the non-credit language course schedule.

Credit courses stress the basic language skills of speaking, listening, reading, and writing. Day and evening sections are available at both campuses, as well as semi-independent telecourses in French and Spanish.

Those with prior background in a given language should follow the general guidelines stated in course prerequisites when selecting language courses or discuss their placement with the instructor of that language.
