French 1
UC Scout World Language courses are intended for middle and high school students. Each UC Scout World Language course is based on the themes of Global Challenges, Beauty and Aesthetics, Families and Communities, Personal and Public Identities, Contemporary Life, and Science and Technology. UC Scout World Language courses are standards and proficiency-based, weaving the California World Languages Standards of Communication (Interpersonal, Interpretive, and Presentational), Cultures, and Connections with the ACTFL World-Readiness Standards Comparisons and Communities into each level of instruction. Conversational practice is a requirement in World Language courses. These conversations, called "Interpersonal Communication Assignments," allow students the opportunity to engage in spontaneous discussions in the target language with immediate support and feedback.
Topics for this course include greetings, the alphabet, numbers, describing one's home, physical characteristics, foods, school, calendars, clothing, free time activities, social networks, healthcare, and transportation. Students will also learn about major holidays and cultural celebrations as well as understand and respond to simple commands and questions. This class is taught in French and English.
