Resources
The Department of East Asian Languages and Literatures (EALL) offers resources to support students and make the academic experience as engaging and enjoyable as possible.
Placement Exams
Students who have not studied a language at GW previously and wish to be placed in a course higher than the introductory level must take a placement exam to determine the appropriate course. For information on the CCAS Foreign Language Tool Exam, visit the Language Center website.
Note: Elliott School students must take a different diagnostic exam as part of the foreign language proficiency requirement.
