Department of World Languages

Armando J Quiroz, Supervisor

The Franklin Township School District is committed to offering instruction in World Languages to all students. At the core of our department is a belief in consistent, meaningful study of a second language that fosters respect for cultural and linguistic diversity.

The department seeks innovative candidates with strong interpersonal skills in order to collaborate on developing relevant and purposeful curriculum. Our goal is to prepare students for life beyond high school by promoting interaction with people of other cultures, by making connections to other disciplines, and by using authentic materials and tasks to prepare learners for authentic language experiences.
