World Languages
Mission of the PVCC World Languages Program:
The mission of the PVCC world languages program is to instruct students in the knowledge and use of the world languages we offer, especially within the different cultural contexts in which they exist and are used. These courses will help students develop the skills to read, write, speak and understand the language they are studying at the class-appropriate level, but to give also them insight into the cultural aspects of their target language so that they have a fuller comprehension of language as not only a phenomenon of human communication, but as a major component of human cultures and societies.
