Welcome to the Department of Foreign Languages and Literature
Dr. Belinda-Carstens Wickham



Dr. Belinda Carstens-Wickham

Chair of the Department of Foreign Languages and Literature

Presently our department offers courses in Chinese, French, German, Greek, Italian, Latin, Russian and Spanish; as well as courses in Celtic culture. Students develop proficiency in speaking, listening comprehension, reading and writing. They also gain an understanding of the countries in which the languages are spoken through courses in grammar, literature and culture.
If you have studied, or are currently studying a foreign language in high school, you may want to take the department's placement/proficiency test in order to determine your entrance level. It is possible to earn college language credits through this test depending upon your score. The department also offers scholarship opportunities in German and Spanish. In addition to scholarship opportunities, the department has study-abroad programs in France, Germany, Spain, and Mexico. Should any of these programs be of interest, please contact the department directly.
You will find at SIUE friendly, well-qualified professors, who are committed to help make your studies both rewarding and enjoyable. We invite you to stop by and visit our department when you are on campus.

In the meantime, please contact my office if you have any questions about our programs.
