STANFORD LANGUAGE LEARNING
The Department of East Asian Languages and Cultures at Stanford is dedicated to the languages, literatures, linguistics and cultures of East Asia. In cooperation with the Stanfiord Langauge Center, the Department offers courses in Japanese, Korean, Mandarin Chinese, Cantonese, and Taiwanese.
The Stanford Language Center coordinates all language courses, establishes and maintains performance standards for language instruction, and administers language placement tests for incoming students. Their Stanford Digital Language Lab provides resources, facilities and support for language instruction and learning to the entire Stanford community.
CEAS Program for Advanced Language
Maintenance (PALM)
The Center for East Asian Studies Program for
Advanced Language Maintenance (PALM) classes are
designed for students, faculty, and local community
members who have achieved a relatively high level of
language ability to maintain fluency through weekly
conversation classes. Groups meet one to two hours
per week in an informal but structured atmosphere to
discuss topics of interest under the guidance of
native speakers of Chinese, Japanese, and Korean. The
program is free and open to anyone, and is offered
during the Fall, Winter and Spring quarters while
classes are in session. Please email the relevant
instructor for more details. All PALM sessions meet
at 521 Memorial Way.
