Bowman Mrs. Florida Ms. Bove Mr. Tourtlotte Mrs. Tourtlotte Mrs.
Macek Mrs. Menegay Slide 28 If a student starts taking French or
Spanish in Middle School, they can reach the 5AP level their senior
year. If not, they can reach level 4 Honors in Spanish and French.
Students need at least 2 years of a language to fulfill the
graduation requirement. Level 3 Honors (or higher) of any language
are Merit courses. Slide 29 Generally, students who take four years
of language are our most well-rounded and accomplished students.
Studying a second language contributes positively to listening and
communication skills, cognitive skills, and higher order thinking
skills. Students who study a second language perform better on the
verbal portion of the SAT. Slide 30 There are travel and study
abroad opportunities. Many universities look for an applicant with
4 years of language, some require it. It shows dedication to an
academic program! 2 years fulfills the graduation requirement It is
a fun and engaging learning experience! Slide 31 World Language
Honor Societies (Spanish and French) Gives the opportunity to
appreciate and learn about other cultures. Slide 32 Heritage
language learners are students who: Are raised in homes where a
non-English language is spoken; Speak or merely understand the
heritage language; Are to some degree bilingual in English and the
heritage language. Students who wish to study their heritage
language in high school have the opportunity to take a placement
test to determine in which level of the language they should be
placed. This applies to the languages offered in the Catalog of
Approved High School Courses. Slide 33 Slide 34 Health Education
