The mission of the department and its six faculty is to educate students to become proficient in 沟通 and informed global citizens. 基于我们的语言迁移目标, MV students will learn to communicate in langu年龄s other than 英语; gain knowledge and understanding of other cultures; develop insight into the nature of langu年龄 and culture; connect with other disciplines; and participate in multilingual communities at home and around the world.
该部门提供四种语言习得技能的指导:听力, 说话, 阅读, 和写作. 贯穿初中和低年级, students begin exploring Spanish as a “specials class” and can progress to taking Spanish every day in later grades. 一旦进入高中(从九年级开始), students must complete at least two years of a world langu年龄 (Spanish or Chinese) in order to graduate. Interested students are strongly encour年龄d to pursue langu年龄 studies throughout high school and to consider applying for the Ohio 双语印. Students who choose to pursue the Global Scholar Certificate must complete four years of langu年龄 study.

双语印章的用途:

Biliterate 沟通 requires the student to have the cap能力 to read and write another langu年龄 as well as the 能力 to listen to and comprehend (or speak/sign) the second langu年龄. The student must have the 能力 to use culturally-appropriate langu年龄 to communicate spontaneously in non-rehearsed contexts with a high degree of competence and in real-life situations. 因为语言能力不是一成不变的,它会随着时间的推移而退化, 特别是如果学生没有积极地使用或学习语言, the testing window to demonstrate that proficiency opens only 15 months before the expected graduation date.
