World Language
How would you like to preside over a mock wedding held entirely in Spanish? Are you ready to virtually visiting Paris or Tokyo to order a cup of coffee or a Bento Box? Would you like to join us for a celebration of the Lunar New Year lead by our International Students from China?
The mission of the World Languages Department is to educate the whole student through the teaching of language, grammar, and culture. ACTFL National Standards of Communication, Connections, Comparisons, Cultures, and
Communities are integrated within all World Language pedagogical initiatives. Interpretive, Presentational, and Interpersonal Modes of Communication are also incorporated in all language curriculums as to guide learners in
reaching higher communication achievements in speaking, writing, reading, and listening. Additional emphasis is placed on cultural themes, topics, and issues of target language countries.
