The primary goal of the Modern Language Department is to give the student the opportunity to become familiar with a language other than their own.
Students learn to use, understand and communicate a language, both in spoken and written form.
Through the language, the student will learn the cultural heritage of other lands and become acquainted with customs and thoughts of other people. Also, the study of another language enhances one s awareness of the structure of the English language. Career opportunities for students with second language skills will be emphasized throughout the curriculum. The students learn structure through explanation and by practicing patterns of sound, order and form. Learning activities include repetition drills, questions and answers, games, songs, recordings and videos with use of VCR programs.
