Extended Foreign Language Program
The goal of the "Extended Foreign Language Program" at Shenandoah Middle School is to develop bilingual,
biliterate and bicultural students capable of leadership and able to function in the multilingual society of the
global economy. To become bilingual and biliterate, or to maintain these skills and abilities, a student
must not only learn the language, but use the language to learn. Therefore, the bilingual program at
Shenandoah Middle requires one class period of Spanish language arts curriculum and two class periods of
basic subject area instruction in Spanish.
The Spanish language arts curriculum further develops and enriches
the language arts skills while familiarizing the students with the Hispanic culture and exposing them to the
richness of their bicultural heritage. The content areas taught in Spanish vary from grade to grade. The
curricular learning objectives of all courses are the same regardless of the language used for instruction.
Reading and technology are also emphasized and utilized as teaching tools in all curricular offerings in order
to prepare students for their emergence into a global society.
