Language Placement Policy

All students are required to complete one modern or ancient language course as part of the Elizabethtown College core program.

Students who studied Spanish, French or German in high school and wish to continue studying at Etown:

Students MUST complete the Modern Language Placement Exam for that language.
Students are not allowed to take the first entry-level course of a language if they completed level 3 or higher in high school, regardless of placement exam results.
If you are bilingual, or a native or heritage speaker of a language, you must arrange a personal oral interview with the School of Arts and Humanities to determine proper placement.
First-Year students are encouraged to complete the Modern Language Placement Exam as part of Summer Orientation Preparations and first-semester scheduling.
Students who wish to take a new language that wasn’t taken in high school are not required to take the Modern Language Placement Exam. They will not be prohibited from another language during open registration in a subsequent semester.
Students that elect to delay the completion of the Modern Language Placement Examination will be held by the same expectations outlined above. If they believe their has been a lapse in proficiency, they are encouraged to explore another language at the entry level.

Students who studied Japanese and wish to continue in the language at Etown:

Students are required to meet with a member of the Japanese Faculty for placement.
Arrange an appointment - contact Dr. Bhattacharya (bhattacharm@etown.edu) or Dr. Takahashi (takahashin@etown.edu).

PLACEMENT EXAMINATION FOR SPANISH, GERMAN, AND FRENCH

Students may take the placement exam ONCE for German, French, or Spanish.

LANGUAGE PLACEMENT DISCLAIMER

If you place yourself into a course lower than where you tested, you may be subject to reexamination the first week of classes resulting in dismissal from the course or registered into a language level based on the student’s exposure to the language.

The Department of Modern Languages reserves the right to change a student’s placement in a course if it believes that the student has not been placed at the appropriate level, or in the most appropriate course, based on the student’s exposure to the language.
