Univ. Seeks to Teach Foreign Languages Across Disciplines



Foreign Language Across Curriculum, a program formally founded within
the past year, seeks to expand foreign language competence across
various disciplines within Cornell. Currently, an FLAC section aims to
prepare students from the Wind Ensemble for a trip to Costa Rica that
integrates language, music and service.



Foreign language across disciplines has had a long history at Cornell,
although it has functioned "ad hoc for the past 15 years," said
Cecilia Lawless, director of FLAC. The program attained its formalized
status last year when Prof. Elvira Sanchez-Blake, romance studies,
used grant funding for graduate student training by implementing a
Spanish section for the base course "Experience Latin America."
