FAIN: EP-*0400-78

Hope College (Holland, MI 49423-3663)
Jacob E. Nyenhuis (Project Director: November 1977 to October 1990)

To develop two language-and-culture courses, offering an integrated approach to art, civilization, literature, history and philosophy. The goal is a comprehensive and intensive view of each culture, for which language study will be demonstrated to be integral to the understanding of another culture. A major portion of course time will be dedicated to intensive language training. The two courses offered will be "The Golden Age of Greece" and "Germany from the Age of Goethe to the Collapse of the Weimar Republic." Students, faculty and outside consultant will participate in evaluation.
