• Welcome to the CB West World Languages Department!

   

  

  Central 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 Central Bucks emphasizes achieving proficiency in at least one world language, successful world languages students are encouraged to study as many world languages as possible!

The teachers of the Central Bucks World Languages department believe that all students have the ability and should have the opportunity to study a world language. We believe this experience will enhance the students’ perceptions of the world and they will become more productive members of an increasingly global society. In the classroom, we strive to simulate authentic experiences, compare and contrast other languages and cultures, promote tolerance, and make connections with other disciplines. Finally, we seek to inspire students to extend the classroom experience beyond high school.
