World Languages

The goals of the World Languages Departments are to support students in communicating effectively in another language and in understanding the cultures that inform the languages. Students apply their knowledge and understanding of the languages studied through varied and authentic listening, reading, writing and speaking tasks, with an emphasis on communicating within and beyond the classroom setting.  It is through students’ use of another language and understanding of the unique cultures that students become global citizens. We encourage our students to take language for four years and to explore the personal and professional benefits languages can provide in their future.
