Carroll County Public Schools

Spanish I/French I

Rationale

As a building block for further study in Spanish/French, the students will know and use the present tense and other basic grammatical concepts. The students will also ask and answer questions about personal information and daily life activities through teacher-student interaction and cooperative practice. The students will become aware of the value of learning a foreign language in a multicultural society. A variety of cultural topics pertinent to the Hispanic/francophone world will be introduced. Primary emphasis will be on speaking and listening, with a gradual integration of reading and writing.
