We work closely with students, faculty, and staff to support language learning both inside and beyond the classroom. The center provides a welcoming space that includes a comfortable lounge for studying, games, film viewing, and language- and culture-related events, including daily music in languages offered at Carleton.
The Language Center has:
- Bi- and multilingual Language Center Assistants available for conversation practice and language learning help across a range of languages.
- Support for language- and culture-focused events and creative projects, such as Poetry Without Borders and the In Other Words zine.
- Self-study and digital language learning resources, including free access to Rosetta Stone and Mango Languages for Carleton students, faculty, and staff; curated resources for over 30 languages; and facilitated language circles, including a Korean Language Circle.
- Free access to Rosetta Stone and Mango Languages for Carleton students, faculty, and staff.
- Language testing and proficiency support, including coordination of placement and proficiency-related testing, as well as guidance for students navigating testing options and available funding support.
- and more!
