Getting Started

Foreign Language research is important for learning to speak, read, and listen to a language as well as to understand its cultural underpinnings. ACC offers courses in Arabic, Chinese, French, German, Japanese, Latin, Russian, and Spanish.

There are several types of information available to Foreign Language students through the ACC libraries, both in print form and electronically. The tabs along the top of the page provide details on the different types of resources listed below:

Reference Works	This covers encyclopedias, dictionaries, handbooks, and other resources that are referred to for specific information. Go to these for definitions, shorter explanations, historical information, and biographical sketches.
Books and Media	You can find a good selection of foreign language books and media that provide detailed information on current usage. There are titles on grammar, verbs, nouns, speaking, reading, and more.
Articles	Articles from journals, magazines, and major newspapers are a good source for recent developments in various countries. You can find articles on current trends, social and cultural information, and studying and teaching foreign languages in major newspapers, magazines, and journals. ACC databases can help connect you to these articles.
Web Sites	The internet can provide a wealth of information, especially from on-line foreign language resources, educational institutions, professional organizations, and government sources.
