Overview

  • 一本道 Bucks World Languages courses allow students to study one language for several years so that the language can be used as another learning tool. The language being taught will be the language of the classroom. Beyond the expected learning of reading, writing and speaking the language, students learn how people live in other parts of the world.  The knowledge of how other people work, play, raise families, and run governments can be valuable in many classes outside of the World languages department.  The possibilities of using world languages skills in a career cannot be ignored.  Many government and international business jobs demand second language ability.  While 一本道 Bucks emphasizes mastering one world language, successful world languages students are encouraged to study a second world language.

    Note: As in all subjects, world languages courses with an enrollment of fewer than twenty students may be cancelled.

    "Image of a globe of the world People need to see that, far from being an obstacle, the world’s diversity of languages, religions and traditions is a great treasure, affording us precious opportunities to recognize ourselves in others.”

    一本道 Bucks World Languages courses allow students to study one or more languages for several years so that the multilingualism can be used as another learning tool in all areas. The language being taught will be the language of the classroom. Beyond the expected learning of reading, writing, listening, and speaking, students learn how people live in other parts of the world. The knowledge of how other people work, play, raise families, and run governments can be valuable in many classes outside the World Languages Department. Furthermore, the possibilities of using language skills in a career cannot be ignored. Many government and international business jobs demand multilingualism. While 一本道 Bucks emphasizes achieving proficiency in at least one world language, successful world languages students are encouraged to study as many world languages as possible!
