Course Description

In the Middle School Language Survey course, students will be introduced to 6 different languages within the 18 week semester. The languages in this course include Latin, Spanish, French, German, Chinese and Japanese.

Each language will be taught for a period of 3 weeks. This multilingual course is designed to give students an opportunity to gain understanding of a language they might want to study in the future.

The languages will be taught using the communicative method, which combines listening, speaking, reading and writing in the target language with the use of multimedia resources.
