Global Languages & Cultures

General Information

A variety of language courses are offered, recognizing that students have differing levels of proficiency and experience in a second language.  Students who register in Japanese 10, Spanish 10, French 10, and German 10 are assumed to have no previous experience with those languages.

It is recommended that students enrolling in senior high second language courses have a demonstrated proficiency (at the 65%+ level) in Language Arts in junior high.

Students with averages of less than 65% in any given second language course at high school may have difficulty succeeding in the next level course.

Advanced Placement French Language Exams

Students demonstrating an ability and interest in registering for the AP French Language will have an opportunity to take this exam in May. Students are asked to meet with M. McKeever, the French Language AP coordinator, before September 15th to complete required forms.

Note: The University of Alberta requires students in the Bachelor of Arts program to take a second language course while at university.
