Lexington One World Language Program Information
The world language program in Lexington One enables students to use oral and written language for meaningful and culturally appropriate communication in the situations they are most likely to encounter in more than one language.
​
Our K-12 program helps students appreciate linguistic and cultural diversity and the contributions of other cultures. Students acquire the knowledge, skills and attitudes necessary for effective participation in a global environment that is connected economically, socially and politically.

As part of our philosophy of how languages are learned,
​we believe the following: 

  • Languages are acquired, not taught.
  • Language acquisition takes place through a process linking language to meaning.
  • In order for languages to be acquired, students must be exposed to comprehensible input--and a lot of it. (Meaning - the teacher must use the language at least 90% of the time for grades 3-12 and 100% of the time in immersion classrooms, while helping the learners understand the input through strategies and methods that will help develop meaning for the learner).
  • Good language instruction involves students using the language for real purposes and not just learning about the language.
  • A child who functions in one language is already a candidate to function in others.
  • Beginning language study as early as possible always benefits a child.
  • A child will not exceed in his second language, the ability he or she has in his first language.
  • Linguistic accuracy is a destination, not a point of departure.
  • Proficiency in a language is attainable; mastery of a language is not.
  • Authentic assessment involves a variety of performance standards and requires the child to use language purposefully to meet a need or solve a problem.
  • Language learning is for all students regardless of abilities or challenges.
