Ask your student about class
Let your student explain to you the language and cultural ideas we study in class.
Help your student to understand the difference between homework and studying.
Offer to go through the English side of flashcards or a vocabulary list. It helps to study with a partner.
Encourage your student to talk about class progress and offer to arrange a conference if necessary.

Remind your student that…
20-30 minutes of studying per day is ideal. Practice every night at home.
It’s a waste of time reviewing things you already know. Instead, focus on difficulties.
Pay attention in class and ask questions– make good use of class time.
Make flashcards, write the words many times, use word associations and do whatever it takes to learn!
Don’t expect to understand everything! Expect to make mistakes, but learn from them.
There are plenty of on-line practice activities available for students. Please encourage your student to take advantage of these opportunities.
Listening to the language is great practice. You can always take an animated movie and switch the language to Spanish.

Middle School World Language – FAQs
What are world language classes like? Students learn a world language through
a proficiency-based approach. This means that the focus is on what students know and can do in the language. Instruction is primarily in the world language for approximately 90%-100% of the class time—and students are engaged to listening to, speaking, reading, and writing in the language. They are expected to be active participants in and out of class.

Middle School World Language – FAQs
What is the workload of the world language class? Students who opt to take a world
language take an additional academic course and they make a three-year commitment to language study in Grades 6-8. The world language class includes tests, quizzes, homework, class work, participation, and projects. It is recommended that time outside of class be dedicated to practicing the language. In addition, there are semester assessments that monitor progress.

Middle School World Language – FAQs
How does the world language class count toward high school credit? Students who successfully pass the class
and the end-of-course assessment will have the course recorded as “pass” on the high school transcript. Students must still take two credits of world language at the high school level if they choose the world language option for their Program Choice for graduation (the other three options are American Sign Language, Advanced Technology, or Career Academy).
