Second Languages
Living Waters Catholic School Division recognizes Canada’s status as a bilingual country with French and English as the two official languages, and the linguistic aspirations of our First Nations community and
therefore believes it has a responsibility to offer Second Language programs.
The Division will offer a Second Language program to all students in grades 4 through 12 with the goals for students to:
-
- Acquire basic communication skills and develop competency in the language;
- Develop cultural sensitivity and enhance personal development;
- Develop originality and creativity in language;
- Acquire additional concepts and generalizations about language and language
learning; and - Develop a desire to extend or improve proficiency in languages through further
language study, whether for interest, post-secondary requirements, or vocational
needs.
