The World Languages Department of Edison Township Public Schools envisions students who become culturally aware global citizens empowered with the skills necessary to communicate in more than one language, appreciate diversity, and participate in society.
The mission of the World Languages Department of the Edison Township Public Schools is to prepare students to contribute to our interconnected world by:
Designing meaningful and engaging language learning environments in which students are immersed in speaking, hearing, reading, writing, viewing, and collaborating in the target language
Providing opportunities to access and interact with authentic cultural materials and resources
Emphasizing student proficiency in using the target language to communicate for real world purposes and in real life situations
Encouraging students to develop their own interests, define their own futures, and achieve their goals
Fostering the critical thinking skills necessary to examine, compare, and connect societies and communities that are multifaceted, multilingual, and multicultural
