INTRODUCTION The Montclair School District is dedicated to educational excellence for each and every child. In partnership with parents and the community, the schools will maximize academic and artistic achievement, and develop confident students who are accountable for their ongoing learning, who value initiative and diversity, who achieve the requirements of the New Jersey Core Curriculum Content Standards at all grade levels and who are able to contribute meaningfully to the ever-changing global society. The philosophy and vision of the Montclair World Languages curriculum is to expose each student to the joy of understanding the language and culture of other communities. Students will acquire sufficient vocabulary and knowledge of linguistic structures to enable them to communicate with others in an oral and written manner. In addition, students will increase the development of their native language since the acquisition of a second language at an early age contributes to and promotes listening, speaking, reading, and writing skills in general. The Montclair Public School District is committed to seeing that all students develop the necessary skills to support this vision. After completing a strong series of language study, students will be able to: 1. Learn new vocabulary framed in contextual thematic units 2. Use circumlocution to express meaning when they lack vocabulary terms for new ideas 3. Move progressively from acquiring very simple structures of subject and verb to acquiring richer expressions by using adjectives, adverbs, and complements 4. Use background knowledge to build second language fluency by considering themes and topics already seen in their basic classes (mathematics, science, social studies, and language arts) 5. Write and perform stories and mini-plays in the target language 6. Learn the culture and traditions of the native speakers countries at the same time that they are learning the language 7. Read age-appropriate authentic, original material written by natives for natives, as well as familiar texts translated from English 3
8. Become better citizens by developing a global concept of the world, respecting cultural differences, and fostering acceptance of peoples from other cultures. STATEMENT OF PHILOSOPHY The advent of technology has made our planet a small, interdependent community in which it now takes only seconds to communicate with others around the world. Along with the immediate access to far off places comes the necessity to engage in meaningful dialog with speakers of many languages. It is our belief that the children of the will be well served by the acquisition of a second or third language. Children who study a second language learn that different cultures exist with legitimate realities that shape who they are, how they live, what they do and why. In addition to the ability to effectively communicate with others around the world, the study of a world language will help children to become flexible thinkers, creative problem-solvers, and human beings who have a better appreciation and understanding of cultural differences and similarities that enrich society. Studies of the brain, and the research of linguists and educators, show that the study of a second language enables children to better understand and utilize their own language. In addition, second language acquisition enhances one s ability to see connections between the various disciplines by incorporating mathematics, language arts literacy, social studies, science, visual and performing arts, and health and physical education into the language classroom. Research further indicates that when language acquisition begins before age eight and continues through the school years, native-like proficiency is attainable (Genessee, 1987, Lipton, 1992, Met, Anderson, Brega, and Rhodes 1983). Therefore, it is our belief as world language educators that the study of a second language should begin as early as kindergarten. The concept of uninterrupted study conforms to the requirements of the NJCCCS. At the age of ten, according to the research of Piaget, Lambert and others, students are in the process of moving from egocentricity to reciprocity, and information is eagerly received. Acquisition of a second language helps children gain insight into the uniqueness of all cultures, and develop the personal skills needed to interact with diverse groups in a global community. Children will be more apt to embrace differences; cultural content is integrated throughout the program, reflects multi-ethnic diversity within language groups, and gives an accurate view of everyday life. The philosophy and goals of the Montclair World Language Curriculum are philosophically aligned with the guiding principles of the NJCCCS for World Languages. The curriculum is designed to reinforce the skills of listening, speaking, reading, and writing presented in a developmentally appropriate manner. The units of study and the activities included are designed to provide a 4
stimulating and enjoyable experience in the target language. The thematic concepts taught follow the natural way in which children acquire their first language through imitation, repetition, and a multi-sensory approach to learning patterns of speech. Learning a second language taps the child s natural developmental ability to imitate native speakers and to enjoy a sense of accomplishment that comes from learning.

GENERAL OVERVIEW Language and communication are at the heart of the human experience. The United States must educate students who are linguistically and culturally equipped to communicate successfully in a pluralistic American society and abroad. This imperative envisions a future in which ALL students will develop and maintain proficiency in English and at least one other language, modern or classical. (American Council on the Teaching of Foreign Languages-National Standards for Foreign Language Education) The Spanish Programs in the focus on the acquisition of communication skills and cultural knowledge.

Through language study, they will make connections with other content areas, compare the language and culture studied with their own, and participate in home and global communities. This standard includes the interpretive, interpersonal and presentational mode of communication. 7
