Grade 7 World Languages

(Nine-Weeks Course):

Each nine-week course will give students the opportunity to explore a language other than English. Through these introductory courses, students will have opportunities to communicate with each other and with their teacher in the target language. In addition, by understanding and appreciating other cultures, they will understand their own culture better.

**A student cannot study the same exploratory language twice.

(Year-Long Course):

Students begin the sequential development of communicative skills. They use the language for oral and written communication, interpretation of spoken and written information, and presentations to audiences of listeners and readers. In addition, culture is an integral part of all communicative efforts because it is a natural component of language use.

**This is a high school credit course.
