PHILOSOPHY/RATIONALE As we move through the new millennium, global communication becomes increasingly important. A broad global environment and increasingly sophisticated technology make it necessary for us to become citizens of the world who are able to express ourselves in more than one language. By interweaving language and culture, we seek to prepare students to live and work in a multi-faceted society. World language study actively promotes the students proficiency and develops their knowledge of and sensitivity to other cultures. Acquiring a second language involves a progression of activities from comprehensible input of authentic language through guided and/or structured activities to comprehensible expressive output. In order to facilitate a continuous learning process, the vocabulary, structures, and functions are re-entered and spiraled throughout the program. A variety of strategies which target different learning styles and multiple intelligences address the various needs of the wide range of students. The overall goal is for students to participate actively in the learning experience and to be able to use the target language for meaningful communication. Students in grades 9 12 may enroll in this full year 5 credit course. The Spanish 1 program addresses the New Jersey Core Curriculum Content Standards 7.1 and 7.2. It also addresses identified areas of the New Jersey Core Curriculum Content Standards for Workplace Readiness. COURSE PROFICIENCIES
