Mission Statement
Language is our connection to the rest of the world and it is essential that we promote and encourage the study of foreign language in today’s global society.
The ability to communicate effectively enhances students’ social, intellectual, political, and economic opportunities. Foreign language programs foster an appreciation for and an interest in world cultures, making students more open-minded and tolerant individuals.
A strong foundation in vocabulary and grammar is necessary in order to build a working communicative relationship. With the foundation, we believe that, after participation in our language program, students will be able to:
- Effectively interact with speakers in the target language by communicating in every day situations.
- Understand the spoken and written target language.
- Appreciate and respect the cultural aspects of the target language.
- Use knowledge acquired in the target language in interdisciplinary learning experiences and in other life experiences.
