Importance of Foreign Languages in School Curriculum

Learning a foreign language will reinforce the knowledge and skills that students develop when learning their native language, English. Especially the skills to communicate with their peers, such as speaking and listening.

Furthermore, it helps to combine all these knowledge and skills to understand better the new language, its grammar, sentence construction, and the meaning of words.

Students’ involvement with the new language’s culture can help them gain knowledge that will give them a global vision.

Students will have better interactions in the social sphere because when studying a foreign language, they will communicate effortlessly with people of different origins.

And what about the benefits for their professional future?

Learning a foreign language at school will give them the foundation so that they can prosper in their futures as working professionals.

Knowing a second language will help them when they enter the workforce as they will stand out from competitors in any position they apply for.

Intercultural empathy is usually found in bilingual people.

Therefore, when applying for jobs abroad, you will have a great professional advantage and will move to another country more easily.

This is why it is important not to leave foreign languages aside in your school’s curriculum, especially if you’re a teacher planning for an upcoming class or semester.

Benefits of Learning Spanish for Students

Whether you’re in charge of a public or private school, it’s crucial to consider all the benefits of teaching Spanish to your students.

The main ones are the following:

1. Cognitive Development

Bilingual or foreign language education has cognitive benefits.

Students learning a second language are better at performing tasks that include creative thinking, problem-solving, and pattern recognition.

If your students are young, they will develop linguistic awareness and gain a more complex level of understanding of their native language, helping them to perfect their English while learning Spanish.

2. Academic Achievement

The brain of students who learn Spanish improves as it receives new challenges to recognize the language, make sense of it, and communicate.

Students who learn Spanish at school earn higher math, reading, and vocabulary achievements than their peers who only speak one language.

3. Improved Memory

Children who learn Spanish and are bilingual have better memories and are more cognitively creative than monolinguals.

Bilingual people usually remember names, addresses, phone numbers, and objects better than those who speak only one language.

Even adults who speak two languages or more develop dementia symptoms five years later than those who only speak their mother tongue.

4. Economic opportunities

In a world where job opportunities are becoming scarce, it is increasingly necessary to learn a second language to expand our opportunities.

Additionally, the need for multilingual staff for key positions in business has become more critical.

That is why it is crucial that you teach Spanish to your students so they have access to a better salary and better positions than those who only speak one language.

And if they learn to speak Spanish fluently, they can communicate with one of the largest communities worldwide and in the United States.

Keep in mind that more than 560 million speak it around the world, and the U.S. has the 2nd largest population of Spanish speakers in the world.

Imagine the possibilities!

5. Cultural Appreciation

Constant exposure to Spanish will help students develop empathy and appreciation for a new culture and the differences it may have from their own.

Kids can interact with the culture and learn the language through its stories, music, idioms, etc. since they don’t need a literal translation to understand the message.

Talking in an outgoing way with people who speak Spanish and have other customs will make them perform better at school, at home, and in the future at their jobs.

Requirements to Create a Spanish Program in Your School

We know that the urgency of teaching Spanish in schools is getting bigger, and along with that, education budgets have suffered cuts that make other expenses being prioritized.

In this scenario, the Spanish tutor for schools teaches the basics, and students manage to memorize only simple vocabulary that will not help them communicate effectively.

To all of the above, we add that the United States is experiencing a nationwide shortage of bilingual teachers, which impacts students’ future and their learning of a second language.

That is why it is crucial that you prioritize an excellent Spanish teaching program in your school. It plays an essential role in the present and future of students and the country’s economy.

We know that the time and logistics of creating, selecting, organizing, implementing, and paying for a Spanish program for your students can be complicated.

This is how group classes through an external company can be the best decision to maintain the teaching of Spanish in your school.

This option is much more cost-effective than a full-time local teacher at your school. Plus, you will be delegating the task of incorporating Spanish into your curriculum to a group of experts.
