Foreign Language courses are open to all students who are interested in participating in an exciting new experience of communicating ideas through the language of another culture. To learn a foreign language well requires time and effort. The Foreign Language Department recommends four years of study of one foreign language to enable the student to use the language effectively in the natural setting. This means acquiring skills in listening, speaking, reading, and writing. All levels are self-contained and the student who choosesjust one year of foreign language study will gain new insights into his/her own language and culture throughcomparison and contrast with that of the foreign language.
The Wisconsin Department of Public Instruction recommends that any student thinking of going on to college, at any point in their lives, should have at least two years of one foreign language.
Some universities now require at least two years study of one Foreign Language before admission. To be sure you know the college requirements in advance, consult your School Counselor.
Students should also be aware that retroactive credit (credit given for work done in high school) is available at most Wisconsin Universities. Please see the Foreign Language Teachers or School Counselor for details.
