Language learning is often described as a way to gain new perspectives, connect people, and build relationships. In a school context, it can also be used as a tool to bridge academic disciplines.
On today's episode, WAB's Heads of Languages in the High School and Middle School, Ludivine Kennedy and Lynn Xing, describe how WAB approaches and values language acquisition.
“The way we look at languages at WAB is for students to get a better inter-cultural understanding of the world around them,” Ludi said. “We make it fun, and we make it relevant, because it helps students remember things. But we also have a curriculum that’s rigorous and that ensures the students develop their speaking, reading, writing, and listening skills.”
