Welcome to LxC

Welcome to the Languages Across the Curriculum blog. LxC is part of Binghamton University (SUNY) in Binghamton, NY. LxC is a curricular enrichment program that provides students the opportunity to apply their existing languages skills in courses outside of languages departments in languages other than English. Students thereby obtain intercultural information and international perspectives on course subject matter. LxC is not a language instruction program but rather a language-use program. Students from intermediate to native level of skill participate in the program.
