Extracurricular Language learning
Reflect on any formal opportunities you have had to develop your language skills outside of the classroom.
To fulfill this competency requirement, students will choose two questions from the set below to respond to:
​
1. If you speak a language other than English at home or with friends or family members, describe that experience. What language(s) do you speak in your home and with your family? Do you use the language(s) outside the home? Have you been to a country where the language is spoken? How did it feel to speak the language there? Do you feel comfortable reading and writing the language too?
2. Besides English, have you studied another language in school? If so which one(s)? In what grade did you start and now many years have you studied it (them)? How have you grown as a person by learning that language?
3. If you’d like to learn other languages in the future, what would they be and why?
