    Welcome to the World Languages Department at Gaithersburg Middle School! Our program is dedicated to fostering linguistic proficiency and cultural diversity through the integration of the four key language skills: listening, speaking, reading, and writing. We emphasize the three modes of communication—interpretive, interpersonal, and presentational—ensuring that students can comprehend and interpret language, engage in meaningful conversations, and present ideas effectively. Our culturally diverse curriculum celebrates global perspectives and encourages students to become open-minded, empathetic, and informed global citizens. Join us on an exciting journey of language learning and cultural exploration!
