We offer instruction of English on the goals articulated in the 5 C s of the national student standards, Standards for Foreign Language Learning in the 21st Century:

• Communication: The language classrooms focus on communication provides students with considerable practice and feedback on speaking before an audience; learning to listen and read for overall meaning; learning to use context clues and make inferences to interpret something heard, read, or viewed; and working with a partner to accomplish a task.
• Culture: Rather than just learning about differences, students learn what is similar across different cultures. Students look into specific practices and products of a culture, and then examine the perspectives behind them, understanding historical and philosophical influences.
• Connections: Learning to use a language requires something to talk, read, and communicate about. In a world language class, the content can encompass, literally, the whole world. In middle school courses, connections to social studies, math, science, the arts, and other disciplines create a meaningful context for the language learning. Students are more engaged when they can talk about something worthwhile.
• Comparisons: Students learn to use language, both their native language and a new language in a world language class. An awareness of the structure of language occurs when looking at a language that is not one s native language. Similarly, the universal elements of culture become clearer when studying other cultures in relation to one s own.
•  Communities: Language learning should prepare students to use this communication skill throughout their life. Students use tools of technology to learn and communicate, exchanging information with people from around the world and accessing information on the Internet that is not available to those who only speak English. Students begin to realize the resources in their own community, region, state, or nation represented by speakers of other languages -an economic and cultural resource.
