Connections Connect with Other Disciplines and Acquire Information Standard 3.1 Students reinforce and further their knowledge of other disciplines through the foreign language. Learning is no longer restricted to a specific discipline; it has become interdisciplinary. This standard focuses on using foreign language instruction as a means of expanding and enhancing students knowledge in other areas. The new information and concepts that they acquire will facilitate their continued learning across the curriculum. 1. transfer and apply information and skills common to both the target language and other subject areas, e.g., map skills, graphing; 2. use new information from the target language or culture to enhance study of a topic in other subject areas; 3. improve English language skills and writing proficiency through an understanding of target language; and Examples within Connections (ATE pages 10, 28, 29, 61, 71, 72, ), in Cooperative Group Practice (ATE pages 108, 166, 208, 209, 325, 455, and 467), in Paired Practice (ATE page 230), and in Reading Materials (pages 33, 85, 134, 178, 221, 263, ).

Standard 3.2 Students acquire information and recognize the distinctive viewpoints that are available only through the foreign language and its cultures. Learning a foreign language gives students access to the original sources of information and unique perspectives of that target culture. This access, either through traditional print or media sources or through the use of new technologies such as the Internet, provides a veritable window to the world. Giving students these advantages is the focus of this standard. EMC Publishing, C est à toi! Level Two 5
1. integrate information from authentic sources with other content areas; and 2. use multimedia sources to expand understanding of the target culture and integrate it with existing knowledge. Examples within Aperçus culturels (pages 3, 17, 71, 89, 181, 198, 211, and 224), in Connections (ATE pages 29, 124, 177, 180, 187, 233,...), in Cooperative Group Practice (ATE pages 12 and 96), in Culture (pages 29-32, 82-85, 131-133, 177, 218-220, and 260), in Lecture (pages 95-97), and in Un peu de plus (ATE pages 46, 197, and 311). Examples within Aperçus culturels (pages 3, 17, 71, 89, 181, 198, 211, and 224), in Connections (ATE pages 29, 124, 177, 180, 187, 233,...), in Cooperative Group Practice (ATE pages 12 and 96), in Culture (pages 29-32, 82-85, 131-133, 177, 218-220, and 260), in Lecture (pages 95-97), and in Un peu de plus (ATE pages 46, 197, and 311). Comparisons Develop Insight into the Nature of Language and Culture Standard 4.1 Students demonstrate understanding of the nature of language through comparisons between the language studied and their own. This standard focuses on the impact that learning the linguistic elements in the new language has on students ability to examine their own language and to develop ideas about the structure and use of languages in general. From the earliest language learning experiences, students can compare and contrast the two languages as different elements are presented. 1. compare and apply within limited contexts the structural patterns of the target language, e.g., forms and functions of tenses; 2. apply an understanding of differences in the pronunciation and the writing systems of target language; and 3. explore the ways that idiomatic expressions affect communication and reflect culture. Examples within Langue Active (pages 6, 8, 10, 12, 20, 22 ) and in Lecture (pages 46, 95, 147, 188, 230, 271, ). See the following ancillary: Grammar and Vocabulary Exercises. Examples within Langue Active (pages 6, 8, 10, 12, 20, 22 ) and in Lecture (pages 46, 95, 147, 188, 230, 271, ). See the following ancillary: Grammar and Vocabulary Exercises. Examples within Aperçus culturels (pages 3, 122, 137, and 138) and in Culture (pages 131, 177, 219, 260, 262, 339, and 340). Standard 4.2 Students demonstrate understanding of the concept of culture through comparisons between the cultures studied and their own. As students expand their knowledge of cultures through language learning, they continually discover perspectives, practices, and products that are similar to and different from those in their own culture. Although some students make comparisons naturally, this standard focuses on developing this reflective process in all students by encouraging its integration into instruction from the earliest levels of learning.

See the following ancillaires: Internet Activities and Internet Resource Center. Communities Participate in Multilingual Communities at Home and around the World Standard 5.1 Students use the language both within and beyond the school setting. This standard focuses on foreign language study as a tool for one to communicate with speakers of that language throughout one s life in school, in the community, and abroad. As students apply what they have learned in the language program, they come to realize the advantages inherent in the ability to communicate in more than one language. In addition, they develop an understanding of the power of language and are thus in a good position to serve the needs of a global society. EMC Publishing, C est à toi! Level Two 7
