The goal of World Language study is to provide students with the opportunity to develop communication skills
(listening, speaking, reading, and writing) in another language. A logical learning sequence is provided so that
teachers may help the students build toward the most important language skills of improvisation and free
communication. It is also the intent of the World Language Department to provide occasions for observing other
cultures.
Courses are offered in French and Spanish. A student should maintain a "C" average in order to continue to
the next level. Since knowledge of a second language and the ability to communicate effectively in that language
develop over a long period of time, it is highly recommended that a student complete the fourth or fifth year of
studying the chosen language.
