Learning a Foreign Language develops a set of transferable skills for understanding and communicating in everyday situations. Learners begin to develop cultural awareness of countries and communities where the language is spoken. Foreign Language learners are encouraged to be:
confident, using new and familiar structures and vocabulary to communicate with others in everyday situations
responsible, seeking opportunities to use and develop their language skills
reflective, considering how to communicate different ideas and attitudes
innovative, applying language to a variety of situation
engaged, developing learning strategies which help them to express their ideas and their understanding of other cultures.
“ Los límites de mi lenguaje son los límites de mi mundo.”
“The limits of my language are the limits of my world.”
Ludwig Wittgenstein
