Why should students learn a second language?  

Many parents would like their children to learn about another culture and to speak and understand another language at a functional level.  Here are some of the reasons for this:

  • Students better understand their own language and culture when they learn about other languages and cultures.
  • Immigrants from many countries have brought their languages and cultures to our commmunites.  Study of these languages and cultures provide for students to understand the link between Canada and other countries.
  • Learning another language and learning about another culture may give students greater choice when they make career and life plans.
