The Language program at Dodd has been designed to meet the needs and abilities of middle level students. A four skill, proficiency-based approach involving listening, speaking, reading, and writing is employed. Students are encouraged to speak in the language, develop related projects, and experience the target culture in a variety of ways. This beginning approach encourages students to see the study of another culture and language as worthwhile and useful, and helps students better understand their own language and culture as well.
Students are encouraged to continue their study of another language in high school so that they can ultimately learn to communicate effectively in that language
NOTE:The 7th grade and 8th grade world language summer packets were given to the students before the classes ended in June. If your child has lost or misplaced the packet, you may download the packet by going to their world language teacher’s website and printing it out.The packets will be labeled as the 7th grade summer packet(students just completing 7th grade) or the 8th grade summer packet(students just completing 8th grade). The packets will be collected at the beginning of your child’s next school year.
