The World Language Department

Bekah Redinger, Staff Writer

The world is shrinking.  With the spread of information and the ever-increasing connections between people, businesses and countries, language is becoming more important than ever.  Coronado offers three languages for students to study as their (first or) second (or third or fourth) language.  

Although studying one of the world languages besides English is not a strict graduation requirement, the classes offer humanities credits, of which you need two, or elective credits, of which you need eleven.

 

All World Language classes are 2 semesters, with one credit per semester.

 

Each level of French and Spanish and German 3 onwards has the option of being taken as an honors credit, which includes more of a challenge and more of a reward.
