英语是第二语言的要求

Trinity’s second-language foundational requirement supports the College’s learning goal of ensuring that all students “become effective communicators…across various contexts, 语言, 和媒体.” The language requirement enables students to gain basic writing, 听, 说话, 以及非英语阅读能力. Language classes help you structure and maintain a daily routine, 在你忙碌的第一年，哪个有用. They can also anchor your place in college by building close relationships with both the instructor and your classmates. 语言技能打开了新的大门, 为你的学习机会做好准备, 让你在竞争激烈的就业市场中占据优势, 让你接触到新的文化思维方式.

For students who pursue a language they began in secondary school, we require successful completion of an intermediate-level course (201). 另外, we encourage you to try a language you may have never encountered before, as a way of expanding your linguistic and cultural horizons. In recognition of the challenges of acquiring a brand-new language, students who start a language at Trinity can fulfill the language requirement by successfully completing the beginner sequence (101-102). 不管你选择什么, make sure to plan your language courses early in your college career to avoid time conflicts with other courses required for your major at a later stage. Students are encouraged to pursue language study regardless of the requirement.

Some students fulfill the language requirement before arriving at Trinity if they have already had significant experience in a language other than English. 如果你认为这就是你的情况， 点击这里.

To fulfill your language requirement by taking classes at Trinity, you have two options.

选择1：开始一门新的语言.

If you decide to take a language you have not studied previously or studied for one year or less, you will be required to take two introductory courses in the language (numbered 101 and 102) in which you receive a minimum grade of a C-.

Option 2: Take the placement test and continue with a previously studied language.

  1. If you prefer to take a language you studied in secondary school for more than one year, should start at the level recommended by the placement exam you took just before your first semester at Trinity. The placement exam is used to determine your appropriate level.
  2. 一旦被安排到合适的课程级别，你就会 required to complete study in that language through the 201 level to fulfill the language requirement （最低成绩C-）. 以下是最可能出现的情况：
    • 如果你被分到101班：
      • 需要101, 102, and 201 if you have taken more than 1 year but fewer than 3 years of that language in secondary school.
      • Take 102 and 201 if you have taken 3 or more years of a language in secondary school, unless you receive explicit permission from the language section head or chair of the 语言文化研究 Department. (If your language experience was 4 or more years ago, you may qualify for this exception.)
    • If you are placed in 102, then you must complete 102 and 201.
    • If you are placed into 201, then you can fulfill your requirement by taking 201.
    • If you are placed into 202 or above, you have successfully completed the language requirement. You can elect to continue your language studies by taking the appropriate language course.

If you prefer to fulfill your language requirement through 拉丁 or Greek courses administered through the Department of Classical Studies, 看到他们的 网页 or 联系他们的 主席.
