World Language Department Curriculum

World Language Home | Staff | Policies | Curriculum Info | Courses | Rubrics | Sample Work | Other Departments

Foreign language courses are sequential, each level dependent upon the preceding one. All have as goals the acquisition and development of four basic skills: listening, speaking, reading, and writing. In all levels a balanced approach is used, allowing students to express themselves at first in a controlled situation, and later providing opportunities for creativity and originality. As an integral part of each course, the culture and civilization of the countries are studied.
