Foreign Languages at Teurlings

            Unlike the curricula in other areas at Teurlings, the foreign language curricula are heavily textbook and vocabulary based. The Spanish and French curricula were revised at the end of the 2003-2004 school year.

 

 

 

 

French I

 

Course Goals

Students will use speaking, writing, reading, and listening in French to provide basic communication skills; providing students with vocabulary necessary for basic communication; focus on grammar and vocabulary skills developed through daily speaking drills and by reading supplementary material from the text and the community; write dialogues and essays using the vocabulary and grammar presented; in addition, French culture and traditions of all areas of the French speaking world are studied to enable the student to understand the difference between American and French lifestyles.

  

Strands

There are six strands found in the Teurlings Catholic Foreign Language courses. In comprehension students demonstrate an ability to read French; in cultural awareness, students learn about the French-speaking world; in grammar, students study French grammar rules and examples; in oral conversation students demonstrate the ability to speak in French and to understand French conversation; vocabulary deals with nouns, verbs, adjectives, adverbs, and other parts of speech and their meaning and use, as well as colloquial French expressions; written comprehension helps the student develop the ability to express ideas in written French.
