Language Studies Department

Our mission is to create conditions that encourage students to think critically and to exit our programs having acquired cultural, social and linguistic competence.

Welcome! We're proud to offer classes in French, Spanish, ASL (American Sign Language), and Chinuk Wawa (an indigenous language).

We create a warm, respectful environment, where you can learn about different cultures and explore new ideas. Our instructor use creative ways to make learning fun and effective. And there are plenty of resources to help you succeed.

After your time at Lane, you'll not only know a new language, you'll have skills you can use in the real world. Skills like an awareness of diverse cultures, flexible thinking, and communication. If you want to get a bachelor's degree, we can help you transfer to a university. Lane is great way to your language college education affordably!
