World Language
How would you like to preside over a mock wedding held entirely in Spanish? Are you ready to virtually visit 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 World Languages Department educates 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
pedagogical initiatives. Interpretive, presentational, and interpersonal modes of communication are also incorporated as to
guide students to reach higher communication achievements in speaking, writing, reading, and listening. Additional
emphasis is placed on cultural themes, topics, and issues of target language countries. The department encourages students to look beyond their own community and embrace respect, empathy, and diversity in a multicultural society.
