Electives

Premium World Language courses are not available through Ignitia, but instead are offered through FuelEd on the Peak Platform. An Enlightium Academy teacher will still teach this course and meet message response times as well as grading windows based on the support level of each student. 

Please also note that there is an additional cost for Premium World Language courses because they are offered through a third party; there is no additional fee for students enrolled in the Diamond Program. View add-on fee details for any Premium World Language Course below.

**Premium World Language courses are available to high school students enrolled in the Diamond Program at no additional cost as long as the total course load does not surpass 7 credits.

Competency

The Premium World Languages Competency courses take a traditional approach to language learning by focusing on the four key language skills: listening, speaking, reading, and writing. Students are introduced to vocabulary themes, grammar concepts, sentence structure, and culture through explicit instruction and guided, self-paced learning.

Fluency

The Premium World Languages Fluency courses are based on world language immersion methodology. They apply language skills practiced through observation and intuition within a context, task-based activity, or real-life theme. Proficiency is developed through media-rich activities and videos. Authentic content allows students to negotiate pathways for meaning, express spontaneous thoughts, build metacognitive skills, and acquire a deeper understanding of other cultures. These courses are more intensive and provide a greater challenge to the student; however, the hard work and dedication required to succeed in Fluency courses will pay off as students will acquire a deeper understanding of the target language and be better prepared for real world language use.
