The main objective of the World Language Department is to enable students to attain a measurable degree of communicative competency and proficiency in the four language skills of listening, speaking, reading, and writing.

At Union Middle School, students are required to continue their study of Spanish by developing, reinforcing, and refining skills acquired in grades K-6.  Grammar and vocabulary are logically sequenced and grouped to make their acquisition as natural as possible. The teaching of culture is an integral part of the program, aimed at increasing our students’ cultural awareness and encouraging them to make connections across disciplines. All course curriculum is standards-based and aligned with the New Jersey Learning Standards, which reflect the themes known as the 5 C’s- communication, cultures, connections, comparisons, and communities.
