Five College East Asian Languages Program (EALP): Chinese, Japanese, and Korean
Faculty members in East Asian languages meet regularly throughout the academic year to exchange information about course offerings and to support professional development for faculty and teaching assistants at the colleges and University. Recently, they have organized and participated in workshops on the teaching and assessment of oral proficiency, the use of "authentic texts" in the classroom, and uses of web-based and other forms of computer-assisted instruction. The program also supports joint trips by faculty to professional conferences and outreach projects for pre-college instruction in East Asian languages.

Because instruction in Chinese and Japanese is broadly coordinated across the five campuses, after completing introductory instruction at their home campuses, students are able to select among a range of advanced-level courses at the other campuses, particularly the University. Instruction in Korean, both at the beginning and intermediate levels, is presently offered at Smith College.

To find all current offerings, including introductory language acquisition courses, consult the Five College Course Catalog. The Program mantains a special list of upper division courses.

The Program also maintains a list of East Asian Studies Faculty organized by fields of study and by campus.
