FOREIGN LANGUAGES
In the belief that the study of foreign languages and cultures is an integral part of the curriculum, BFUHS recommends a minimum of one credit of study in any of the following areas: Latin, French and Spanish. Let's face it! The world is changing rapidly and in order to survive and prosper in our international society, you need an understanding of other peoples and their languages. As a department, we strongly encourage you to do all of the following:
- Achieve a high level of proficiency in at least one language
- Broaden your studies by taking a second or third language
- Pursue language and cultural studies throughout your lives
To these ends, we have built a good deal of flexibility and variety
into our program. We offer 4 credits in Latin, 5 credits in French and
5 credits in Spanish. The scope of study in each of these areas goes
far beyond the classroom. The culture and heritage of both modern
and ancient civilizations comes alive in activities such as field trips to museums and theatrical events, and travel to other countries.
Students will be evaluated based on class participation, written tests and quizzes, homework, and projects. In Spanish and French, additional criteria include interviews and recorded oral proficiency assessments.
