World Language
World Language
Aligned with the ACTFL World Readiness Standards for Language Learning, the MPS World Language Department consistently seeks opportunities to provide students with opportunities to engage in authentic reading, writing, listening, and speaking in the target language and to learn about cultures around the world. Consistent opportunities to read, write, speak, and listen are critical to language acquisition and developing proficiency, and we hope that all 6-12 students will stay engaged in World Languages throughout the summer! See below for resources to help you stay engaged and practice your language skills this summer:
Mango Languages, a fun and interactive tool for language practice, is accessible via the Milford Public Library website with a Milford Public Library card number.
Other opportunities to improve your language skills... Have a conversation with a friend in Spanish or French. Listen to an audiobook or podcast in Spanish or French. Read a book or watch a movie in Spanish or French. Using the language is the best way to become proficient!
