Welcome to the languages department. Our department’s motto is strive for excellence in Languages. As a department we are aware of fact that the success of the school is largely dependent on the success of Language subjects. For the department to achieve success we have to sacrifice a lot and this is why members do a lot of extra testing and marking. The department is determined to strive in the subjects by encouraging students to stick to the school’s language policy of using English on Monday to thursday and reverting to Kiswahili.
Apart from classroom situations, students are also encouraged to do extra tasks especially through debate club and journalism club. Under our supportive senior principal, this department is embarked on revision programes that are geared towards improving the performance to greater heights. We are optimistic that the future is bright.

Kiswahili ni mojawapo ya masomo muhimu katika Idara ya Lugha na Isimu katika shule ya vijana ya Tengecha. Idara hii inajivunia matokeo bora katika mitihani ya ndani na ya kitaifa kutokana na juhudi za walimu wenye uzoefu na wanafunzi wenye bidii.
Kupitia makongamano, majarida, mashindano ya lugha, mijadala na shughuli mbalimbali za kielimu, wanafunzi hupata nafasi ya kuimarisha ujuzi wao wa kuzungumza, kusoma na kuandika kwa Kiswahili fasaha. Chama cha Kiswahili pia huchangia pakubwa katika kuandaa mashindano na kubadilishana uzoefu na shule nyingine ili kuboresha mawasiliano na kuinua viwango vya ufaulu.
Aidha, shule ina sera madhubuti ya lugha inayohimiza matumizi sahihi ya Kiswahili na kuzuia matumizi ya lugha isiyo rasmi katika mazingira ya kielimu. Wanafunzi hushiriki kikamilifu katika tamasha za muziki, mashairi, maigizo na shughuli nyingine za fasihi zinazowawezesha kukuza vipaji vyao na kuthamini utamaduni wa Kiswahili. Msingi huu thabiti huwapa wanafunzi uwezo wa kuendelea na masomo ya juu katika nyanja mbalimbali nchini na kimataifa.
