PHILOSOPHY OF THE WORLD LANGUAGE PROGRAM
Westminster Academy®
The World Language program goals are based on the most current State of Florida and National Standards. Our program strives to offer our students an integrated view of World Languages, their history, and culture from a Biblical perspective. In view of the current communication trends and technology, it is increasingly important to understand language comprehensively and encompass the whole of the culture. We also give priority to the integration of the target language with the overall curriculum through the use of pertinent thematic units. We emphasize the importance of applying and utilizing the acquired knowledge and skills of the target language outside of the school community, and as a tool not only for use in future career opportunities, butand as a tool to carry out the Great Commission (Matt. 28:18-20).and bring the light of Christ’s Word to the world.
STRANDS FOR FOREIGN LANGUAGE
