World Languages

A world language is a form of communication used to interact and negotiate meaning with other people, to understand and analyze oral, written or signed texts and to create culturally appropriate oral, written or signed products and presentations for a specific audience and task (ACTFL).

All assignments, syllabi and course materials can be found in Google Classrooms.

World language programs in Jeffco Public Schools invite students to explore the world and their place in it through the study of languages and cultures. Jeffco offers courses in Chinese, French, German, Japanese, Latin and Spanish. Jeffco also offers Spanish for Heritage Speakers to honor and support the development and maintenance of heritage language.

Jeffco strives to educate students to become communicatively proficient and globally competent in languages other than English with a curriculum aligned to national standards. Students will have opportunities to use their cultural and linguistic knowledge outside of the classroom, with travel, cultural events, performances and competitions.
