World Languages

The middle school world languages program is composed of an exploratory experience in the fifth grade and an opportunity for formal language study in the language of their choice in grades 6-8. The exploratory program provides every student with the opportunity to explore four modern languages - French, German, Italian, and Spanish. The exploratory curriculum in French, German, and Italian integrates common aspects of the target language within a thematic, cultural context. In Spanish, the students will reenter and build upon their elementary experience in Spanish within a student-centered, thematic context. In all of the languages, emphasis is placed on the practical aspects of language and culture with an activity approach to language learning to allow all students to experience success. Each language is studied twice a week for one marking period. At the end of 5th grade, each student will decide to begin the study of French, German or Italian or to continue with the study of Spanish.
