While administering general foreign language courses across our institution, SOLAC contributes to foreign language course curriculum development. As one section of the Graduate School of Intercultural Studies, our faculty provides postgraduate programs related to applied linguistics and foreign language education. In addition, in order to promote foreign language education outside of the classroom, we serve in a variety of supportive activities, such as seminars.
