Spanish I
     The study of another language enables students to understand a different culture on its own terms. The exquisite connections between the culture that is lived and the language that is spoken can only be realized by those who possess a knowledge of both. American students need to develop an awareness of other people’s world views, of their unique way of life, and of the patterns of behavior which order their world, as well as learn about contributions of other cultures to the world at large and the solutions they offer to the common problems of mankind.  In the target language the student will learn how to engage in conversations, provide and obtain information, express feelings and emotions, and exchange opinions.  Students will understand and interpret both written and spoken forms of the target language on a variety of topics.

    Students are highly motivated to excel in their study of a second language when they see immediate applications for the skills they learn. They find their ability to communicate in other languages better prepares them for school and community projects, enables them to expand their employment opportunities both at home and abroad, and allows them to pursue their own interests for personal benefit. Ultimately, as a result of their ability to communicate in other languages, students realize the interdependence of people throughout the world.  Students will use the language both within and beyond the school setting.  Students will show evidence of becoming lifelong learners by using the language for personal enjoyment and enrichment.
