The Spanish Department supports the Vision Statement of DeSales High School by preparing students to be good global citizens.

The National Standards for World Language Learning center around five goals: communication, cultures, connections, comparisons and communities. To that end, we believe that language and communication are at the heart of the human experience.  We must equip students to communicate successfully in a pluralistic American society and abroad.  World languages open new worlds, introducing students to new cultures and ways of viewing topics as vast as global politics and cultural traditions and as finite as everyday interactions with non-English speaking peoples.  Through the process of world language education, students come to see their own world in the light of other worlds.

The goals of the Spanish Department are to assist the students in being able to:

1. Speak, listen, read and write in Spanish; progressing through the novice, intermediate and advanced levels over the course of their studies.

2. Demonstrate their understanding of the practices and perspectives of the Hispanic culture.

3. Compare and contrast their native language and culture with that of the Spanish language and Hispanic culture.

4. Become lifelong learners by using the target language for personal enjoyment and enrichment both within and beyond the school setting.
