Rockwood Foreign Language Philosophy Students today prepare for tomorrow's reality, in which they will need to function effectively in varied contexts. The constant shrinking of the globe will expand their experience beyond that of previous generations, to include contacts with other languages and cultures, both in their private lives and in their work. Languages are increasingly demanded in a wide range of professions. To succeed, students will need new tools, many of which are available primarily, if not solely, through the study of other languages. They include:
- The ability to communicate well for varied purposes. In other languages, as well as in English, effective communication requires an understanding of both the target language and culture and study and one's own, which implies the ability to interact confidently within many arenas, including the workplace and communities where the language is spoken.
- A solid foundation in basic subject matter and skills. All core subjects must contribute to this end, in an integrated fashion, to aid students in realizing the connections among the parts of their education. Basic subject matter includes the development of verbal, reasoning, and listening skills and knowledge of the great achievements human cultures-artistic, literary, scientific, etc. The study of another language has been shown to enhance students' performance in other academic fields. Learning from other fields can also be reinforced in the foreign language classroom.
- An understanding and appreciation of the diversity of languages and cultures, including one's own. These tools aid students to function as responsible, informed, and confident citizens, and to enhance their personal development. They allow the finding of one's own place in the wider world.
