During each quarter, the students at the elementary level will focus on enhancing their reading, writing, listening, and speaking skills. The World Language Department uses the World Language National Standards (ACTFL) and the College and Career Readiness Standards. The teachers will incorporate the five C’s in their classes. The five C’s are Communication, Culture, Connections, Comparisons, and Communities. The learners will use the three modes of communication: Interpersonal, Interpretive, and Presentational. Listening will be enforced using a listening center, kinesthetic activities, games, songs, and technology integration. Speaking will be assessed using oral presentations, dialogues, and using various forms of digital media. The learners will use Performance Based Assessments to assess all of the standards.
