Great Neck South High School
World Languages Department

The World Languages Program at Great Neck South High is designed to build our students' proficiency levels in the languages they study.  The languages offered are taught following the communicative approach.  Students will develop skills in listening, speaking, reading, and writing. Since an immersion experience in the language classroom yields the best proficiency outcome, students should expect instruction to be conducted in the languages that they are studying. Student progress is continually monitored to assure the best possible course placement.  

The World Languages Department proudly offers four languages:
Mandarin Chinese
French
Latin
Spanish

English As A New Language is for speakers of other languages who are recent arrivals in this country. The four basic communication skills - reading, writing, listening, and speaking - are emphasized in the classroom. ENL also helps the Limited English Proficient (LEP) / English Language Learner (ELL) student adjust as quickly as possible to the mainstream of the school and to the community.
