The honors program in the Foreign Language Department begins at the third year with each language. It is designed to include intensive study in grammar, to provide initial investigation in literature, and to offer extensive opportunities for speaking and writing.
Admission is by teacher recommendation and approval of the department chair.
Because the foreign language programs of Hadley Junior High School and Glenbard West are fully articulated, only those students who have successfully completed two years of French or Spanish at Hadley are eligible to begin at the second year level at Glenbard West. These students are recommended by their middle school foreign language teachers. Appropriate placement of students with other foreign language experience or background is determined through foreign language placement tests. Arrangements to take this test should be made with the department chair. 3 H German 4 H French 1 Students learn about communication in everyday situations.
