World Languages as Career Skills is a unit of five 45-90 minute lessons that will introduce the connections between World Languages and careers. It is recommended that the unit be completed at the start of the school year in the earliest level possible to help students find personal meaning or purpose for learning a language in addition to English. In lesson one, students will first be introduced to the benefits of learning a language holistically through infographics and additional media sources. The second lesson will focus on the role that languages play in today’s careers through articles, videos, and websites. The third lesson will provide a brief introduction to what proficiency is and the description of various proficiency levels. This will give students a better understanding of what they will be able to do with the language they are learning. The fourth lesson will then have them take a closer look at a few careers they are potentially interested in and what role that language will play in them. Students will also discover what proficiency level is needed for each career. The final lesson will be outlining the steps needed to achieve the proficiency level necessary for one particular career and setting a clear goal to go forward with throughout their career preparation and language learning.
