World Languages
The Chief Sealth World Languages Department currently
offers courses in Spanish and Japanese. We have four sections of Spanish
1, four sections of Spanish 2, two sections of Spanish 3, and one sections
of AP Spanish 4. Our Spanish 3 course is linked with Spanish 103 at
the UW. Students who complete the class can earn five college credits.
We currently offer four years of Japanese, from first year all the way
to International Baccalaureate level. From Autumn 2009, a fifth year
will also be offered for students who studied Japanese at the middle
school level.
In our world language classes, we expect our students to learn to communicate
in the target language. This includes reading, writing, listening, and
speaking. All of our classes give students opportunities to practice languages.
We play games, perform skits, sing songs, and much more. Learning a new
language is not only fun, but essential for becoming a global citizen.
Being multilingual will help you understand and appreciate other cultures
and will give you an advantage when looking for a job after college.
Mr. Zeichner, Ms.
Rahsaan, Ms. Mersch,
Ms. Zhu and Mr.
Hansell, are here to support you in your world language classes. Please
feel free to come see us in our classrooms, email us, or call us.
