In this course, students will first begin to develop aural and oral skills, then read and write what they can say using familiar words, commands, phrases, short sentences and basic questions. They will learn to use predictable language in familiar settings. They will start to develop cultural awareness and the ability to recognize the products, practices, and perspectives of the culture. They will also use the language to expand their knowledge in all content areas.

Greenville High uses the curriculum developed by the Greenville County School District, which does not use a textbook. Any textbooks issued to students may be used as a resource for grammatical explanations and extra practice. Over the course of the year, students will be completing the following theme-based units:
