Students become better able to understand other people's points of view, ways of life, and contributions to the world. Connections World languages instruction must be connected with other subject areas. Content from other subject areas is integrated with world language instruction through lessons that are developed around common themes. Comparisons Students are encouraged to compare and contrast languages and cultures. They discover patterns, make predictions, and analyze similarities and differences across languages and cultures.
Students often come to understand their native language and culture better through such comparisons.
