here are many people around the world who want to learn each other's language for better communication. In old fashion ways, using language books was the best solution of learning a language. However, schools have gotten into the idea of teaching any kind of language they are able to teach. On the Oakton high school website, a world language curriculum provides a comprehensive study of language and develops the four skills of language learning: listening, speaking, reading and writing. You can take chinese, french, and spanish. But next year around 2019 to 2020, will be new language classes such as japanese, arabic, and others that are still unknown. Getting good grades in those types of classes are important to
your family and your teacher. But is it really a big deal for your future, such as college? Oakton high school language classes are not taken seriously as math and science. According to oakton high school, language classes are not a serious class to take for college. Many say that it is still important to take more than one language because it can bring cultural awareness and allows you to communicate with other people. However, taking language classes isn’t always the best choice. Some argue that taking a language class is a waste of money. Yes these types of classes can help a lot of things but sometimes it can be too hard to understand and organize the language you have learned. It depends what type of language you are taking if it’s a hard one or a easy one. You need
to know how to organize and study your words. So should you take a language class and are they worth it for your future? It depends. “Language classes are really good for being able to communicate with other people of other cultures so yes i think it’s worth it” Junior, Thomas McTaggart. “Yes i think they’re worth it not only because it brings a creative opportunity to students, but also allows them to produce their own creative writings and invest their own ideologies and point of view into their writings.” Sophomore, Matthew Zevallos. That is the final answer students have given. Oakton students are excited for the new language classes to come and say that it is worth it.
