In conversation or brief written exchanges with family members, friends, or classmates, students will have the skill and confidence to converse and write about familiar topics and events, to ask and answer questions, and to compare and contrast people, things, or events using strings of short sentences. Writing and speaking for presentation allows more time for careful planning and editing, so students can pay closer attention to such aspects of the structure and appropriate use of the language as pronunciation, vocabulary, spelling, grammar, and style in their finished work. They will be able to compare and contrast elements of the structure and use of English and the second language, and to increase their awareness of the nature of language, the influences of other languages on English, and the strategies used to communicate meaning.
Social practices describe the way people behave toward one another.
Products include tangible things like food, tools, or a piece of art, and intangible things like laws, music, or rituals. Perspectives include ideas, attitudes, and values. Students will develop an awareness of other people's world views, their unique way of life, and the patterns of behavior which order their world. Students will be able to communicate more effectively through speech and behavior. Students will become aware of the contributions of another culture to their own and further their knowledge of other disciplines through the second language.
