Level 3 Sāmoan
Course Description
Teacher in Charge: Ms J. Kim.
Level 3 Sāmoan
Over the next year you will continue to develop your Sāmoan skills in reading, writing, listening and speaking. This course covers the national curriculum at Levels 7 and 8.
All of our language courses offers an array of skills which are highly valued by employers from all sectors. Because language is not narrowly focused on specific career paths, you have a wide array of professional options!
What is the point of learning a language?
Multilingual people are able to communicate and interact within multiple communities. Potential employers consider this a valuable asset in an employee’s skill set, as they’re able to connect with a broader range of people. You up your personal and professional value if you’re able to negotiate with manufacturers in another country or communicate with customers who don’t speak your native language.
Not to mention, your ability to speak a second language conveys that you’re motivated and driven to learn new skills, and this also gives you a competitive edge over those who haven’t yet become bilingual.
Many would argue that bilingualism is becoming a progressively necessary and essential skill for anyone who wants to keep up with today’s rapidly increasing global economy. As more and more people recognize the importance of learning an additional language, those who only speak one language will begin to get left behind in our shift towards a more integrated and connected global society.
