World (Foreign) Language Program at Marlborough Elementary School
We, the undersigned, support a world (foreign) language program at Marlborough Elementary School implemented in a cost effective manner.
Why is this important?
Learning another language early in life has been demonstrated to increase children’s comprehension of other subjects, critical thinking and their ability to learn additional languages in the future.
In the global and diverse economy of the 21st century, acquiring added languages is vital.
Surrounding towns have world (foreign) language programs. Other countries learn multiple languages. We need to be competitive.
The program at Marlborough Elementary School was recently cut (after 25 years) and we believe it is time to bring it back.
