Goals

BPS-S IWL logo Goal 5:

CommunitiesIWL g5 logo

Interact with and celebrate multilingual communities with cultural competence at home and around the world.


The study of additional languages enables students to recognize the interdependence of familial, local, state, national, and international communities.

As lifelong learners, engagement with communities expands opportunities professionally, socially, and personally. Learners' experiences with multiple communities prepare them to adapt to the perpetual changes of language and
community. Meaningful experiences with language through community participation allow learners to understand, appreciate, and celebrate the value of additional languages and cultures.
