Goals
The study of language opens the mind of a learner to appreciate difference and diversity in society. Proficiency in languages encourages more effective engagement within the global community. Learning an additional language strengthens a person’s understanding of their first language and enhances literacy skills.
The study of language and culture increases interest in the wider world, promotes intellectual and emotional development and cultural understanding. Through learning the language and culture of others, students better understand their own heritage, culture and identity.
