¡Hola! Welcome to our World Language Program! In this global era, language acquisition skills have become an essential asset that promotes communication among the cultures of the world. At The Phillips Brooks School, our World Language Program focuses both on teaching the Spanish language and on deepening the students' understanding of the cultures where this language is spoken in the US and abroad. Our program ensures that extensive vocabulary is taught in a meaningful and developmentally appropriate way and that it is reinforced from one unit to the next. We rely on various multi-sensory methods, including TPR (Total Physical Response), to build vocabulary skills by connecting words to specific actions. In addition, we incorporate music, skits and kinesthetic activities in our lessons in order to reach students with varying learning styles.
