There are endless benefits to learning a second language and culture. Students who study a second language increase their global awareness and understanding, improve literacy in their native language, are better prepared for college, have more employment opportunities, and have a greater appreciation for the arts.

The World Language Department puts into action the Lubbock ISD belief that the linguistic and cultural richness of our students is a resource that should be recognized and developed

World languages are offered at Lubbock ISD at campuses from three elementary schools through all middle schools and high schools. Roughly 42 world language teachers deliver curriculum and instruction to support 5 different languages:

• American Sign Language

• Chinese

• French

• German

• Spanish
