World Language

Vision and Mission of the Farmington World Languages Program 

The mission of the Farmington World Language Program is for students to communicate in another language, to understand and to appreciate cultural differences, to participate in and contribute to a global society. Students understand how language learning can benefit their personal and future professional lives.

At West Woods, students prepare to comprehend and to communicate in Spanish at a novice level in all language skills. By the end of sixth grade, students will have completed Level 1 of the Farmington Public Schools World Languages Program. 

Grades Five and Six Spanish Students receive Spanish instruction twice a week for forty minutes per lesson. Speaking, listening, reading, and writing skills are practiced and developed through a variety of authentic resources. Students learn to express themselves on topics that relate to their personal lives and interests. In addition, students become familiar with various cultural practices, products, and perspectives of the Spanish-speaking world.
