DepEd revives Spanish lessons in select schools

 

The Department of Education on Monday said it will start the teaching of Spanish in selected public high schools to better prepare Filipino students in communicating a widely-used second language.
 
Dubbed a "Special Program in Foreign Language", the program is for schools whose students have demonstrated competence in English and are also capable of learning another foreign language.
 
The program aims to develop students' skills in listening, reading, writing, speaking and viewing, which are necessary for the students to acquire communication skills using a second foreign language.
