Curriculum Frameworks and Instructional Resources
The Garden Grove Unified School District offers French, German, Latin, Vietnamese and Spanish. French and Spanish are offered at the seven comprehensive high schools. German is offered at Pacifica and Santiago. Latin is offered at Garden Grove. Vietnamese is offered at LaQuinta and Bolsa Grande. All of the foreign language classes are college prep electives. Foreign language classes develop the students’ listening, speaking, reading, and writing skills. Students also develop cultural understanding and appreciation of the corresponding countries.
The current California World Language standards
www.cde.ca.gov/nr/ne/yr09/yr09rell.asp
were adopted in Jan 2009. They delineate standards in the five areas of content, communication,cultures, structures and settings through four stages of language of language development. For further information on the stages, please seethe California Framework.
www.cde.ca.gov/ci/cr/cf/documents/foriegnlangfrmwrk.pdf
The standards indicate that a language learner will complete all four stages at the end of 13 years of instruction in the California public school system. They also provide for a variety of entry points, including Heritage Language Speakers.
The stages typically require more than one year to complete because students acquire language at different rates. Therefore students may move from one stage to another at varying intervals. Factors that affect language acquisition include readiness of the student, presentation of the material, and difficulty of the language for English speakers.
