Duties & Responsibilities: The GHP World Languages department provides an intensive daily immersion program where students will receive instruction, and research experiences in a targeted modern language (German, French, Chinese, Spanish, or Latin). Students will participate in supervised individual and group projects on a range of topics in the selected language. These topics may include investigating the culture, society, history, literature, current events, and/or political systems in regions of the world where the target language is used as the primary form of communication. Many classes participate in simulations, journaling, and culturally related activities, while also analyzing texts and films in the target language.
While all activities/study are conducted in the target modern language, speaking the language itself is not the only focus. At GHP, comprehensive fluency in the language is constantly reinforced through authentic, task-based activities that allow students opportunities to engage in meaningful and rich conversations.
