I. OVERVIEW
Students who begin study in French in middle school are introduced to the beauty of the French language
through the four basic communication skills of language learning: listening, speaking, reading, and writing,
with an emphasis on the oral and aural skills. Each of the lessons is built around a cultural theme and is
divided into sections of dialogues, narratives, pronunciation, vocabulary, grammatical structure, and review
drills. The approach is multimedia. All objectives are practiced with the goal of communicative and cultural
awareness.
II. RATIONALE
The study of languages other than English is vital for students as they prepare to work and live in a global
community. About 6.5% of the world's population speaks English as a first language. Researchers calculate
that another 18.5% speak it as a second or foreign language, which leaves 75% of humanity who don't
understand a word of English.
Students who are proficient in more than one language have a vast array of career opportunities open to them,
ranging from work with well-known multinational companies to international organizations or charities.
Students who are proficient in more than one language are typically better versed in the understanding of
grammar and syntax.
In addition, research by the College Board shows that the longer students study a foreign language the higher
their math and verbal SAT scores. Knowledge of a foreign language improves the student’s understanding and
appreciation of their own language, and makes learning of a third language significantly easier.
III. GOALS (Linked to NJ Core Content Standards)
7.1 World Languages: All students will be able to use a world language in addition to English to engage in
meaningful conversation, to understand and interpret spoken and written language, and to present
information, concepts, and ideas, while also gaining an understanding of the perspectives of other cultures.
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.
•
Language learners can be expected to move through levels of proficiency at different rates. In addition,
language learners may demonstrate differing proficiencies depending upon the communicative mode in
which they are functioning (interpersonal, interpretive, or presentational). In Madison Junior School,
students who are taking French 6 & 7 should meet the cumulative progress indicators for the Novice -Mid
Level of proficiency. Novice-Mid Level students communicate using memorized words and phrases to
talk about familiar topics related to school, home, and the community. By the end of French 6 & 7, students
will:
A Interpretive Mode
1. Recognize familiar spoken or written words and phrases contained in culturally authentic materials
using electronic information sources related to targeted themes.
2. Demonstrate comprehension of simple, oral and written directions, commands, and requests
through appropriate physical response.
3. Recognize a few common gestures and cultural practices associated with the target culture(s).
4. Identify familiar people, places, and objects based on simple oral and/or written descriptions.
5. Demonstrate comprehension of brief oral and written messages using age- and level-appropriate,
culturally authentic materials on familiar topics.
B. Interpersonal Mode
1. Use digital tools to exchange basic information at the word and memorized-phrase level related to
self and targeted themes.
2. Give and follow simple oral and written directions, commands, and requests when participating in
age-appropriate classroom and cultural activities.
3. Imitate appropriate gestures and intonation of the target culture(s)/language during greetings,
leave-takings, and daily interactions.
4. Ask and respond to simple questions, make requests, and express preferences using memorized
words and phrases.
5. Exchange information using words, phrases, and short sentences practiced in class on familiar
topics or on topics studied in other content areas.
C. Presentational Mode
1. Use basic information at the word and memorized-phrase level to create a multimedia-rich
presentation on targeted themes to be shared virtually with a target language audience.
2. Imitate, recite, and/or dramatize simple poetry, rhymes, songs, and skits.
3. Copy/write words, phrases, or simple guided texts on familiar topics.
4. Present information from age- and level-appropriate, culturally authentic materials orally or in
writing.
5. Name and label tangible cultural products and imitate cultural practices from the target culture(s).
