Modern Foreign Language Department - what's new
Grade 6 French Cafe
Madame Whalen's 6th grade French class finished their cafe unit by making their own bistro. They came up with the menu, prices and learned their new vocabulary well. They enjoyed taking turns as the waiter and the customer, and ordering off the menu. Delicious French food was shared by all!

Learning a foreign language is...
· Expanding our world
· Embracing cultural diversity
· Thinking globally
· Opening our minds
· Acquiring new critical and creative thinking skills
· Having an "ah-hah" moment abroad
· Exploring a new body of literature
 
How does the Modern Foreign Language Department at BCD do all this?
· All our classes are taught in the target language
· Our classes are small and we seek maximum participation from our students
· We have years of teaching experience and a love of foreign language
· We fully engage our students through theater, games, songs, poetry, cinema, novels, video projects, and computer activities
· We all go to France or Costa Rica!
· We provide a safe environment where students feel comfortable making mistakes and learning from them
