World Language Survey

Course Overview:

In the 6th Grade World Language Survey, students will explore the basics of three widely spoken languages—Chinese, Spanish, and French—over the course of one semester (two marking periods). This introductory course exposes students to the geography, language, culture, and history of countries where these languages are spoken.

What Students Will Learn:

• Core vocabulary in each language

• Basic map skills and geographic awareness

• Cultural celebrations and traditions

• Historical and cultural connections between countries

Through a variety of engaging activities, including technology-based lessons, TPR (Total Physical Response) activities, and cooperative learning, students will get a taste of these languages and their rich cultural backgrounds.

Goals of the Course:

The program is designed to foster language acquisition, cultural sensitivity, and skill development. By the end of the course, students will have a better understanding of these languages and cultures, enabling them to make informed decisions about their future language studies in middle and high school.
