Bard High School Early College DC (Bard DC) – Introduction to Language

Apr 2026 · 2nd Semester

This one-semester course gives students an opportunity to explore multiple world languages, with the goal of making an informed choice as to which language to continue studying for the next five semesters. Students will explore how to interpret and provide basic information in the target language. This portion of the course will introduce students how to form basic sentences (written and spoken) in the target language. Beyond that, students gain a nuanced understanding of each language studied, and from that, a greater understanding of the broader functions of language. The subsequence courses will continue to build upon the initial units of the target language.
