The study of Slovak language and culture helps students
to become acquainted with one of the newest members of the European
Union and a relatively new independent, sovereign, and democratic
nation (1993). Beginning Slovak (SL 101-102) develops novice
levels in skills of reading, understanding, writing, and speaking
Slovak. IC [International Cultural Studies] 230 and IC 231
enable students to read in English classic Slovak short fiction since
1800 through the present in the context of two other Slavic literatures--Russian
and Czech.
