Communication Communicate in Languages other than English C est à toi! Level Three, 2 nd edition Correlated to MODERN LANGUAGE CURRICULUM STANDARDS EXPANDING LEVEL Standard 1.1 Students engage in conversations, provide and obtain information, express feelings and emotions, and exchange opinions. This standard focuses on interpersonal communication; that is, direct oral or written communication between individuals who are in personal contact.

Interpersonal 1. manage unforeseen circumstances and complicated situations; 2. converse using language and behaviors that are appropriate to the setting; Examples on pages 328 and 421 and within À Vous de Jouer (page 49), in Communication (pages 45, 75, 123, 141, 169, 186, 235 ), in Conversation culturelle (pages 4, 27, 60, 78, 108, 125, ), in En Partenaire (pages 12, 38, 41, 45, 49, 70, ), in Évaluation Écrite (pages 100, 192, 379, 423, and 467), in Évaluation Orale (pages 51, 99, 147, 192, 243, 283,...), in Évaluation Visuelle (pages 51, 244, and 423), in Listening Comprehension Activities (pages 5, 29, 62, 80, 111, 128,...), and in Stratégie Communicative (page 446).

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. EMC Publishing, C est à toi! Level Three 5

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. 1. synthesize and evaluate information from sources intended for native speakers; and 2. analyze information from multimedia sources to create original work in the target language.

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. apply within a variety of contexts the structural patterns of the language; 2. transfer knowledge of structural patterns between the target language and the student s own language to communicate effectively; and 3. identify and examine differences within the target language as they occur in various countries, regions, dialects, or economic levels of a society. Examples within Comparisons (ATE 21, 26, 68, 84, 87, 115, ), in Cooperative Group Practice (ATE pages 72, 86, 168, 195, 229, 231, ), in Langue Active (pages 10, 12, 16, 18, 21, 34, ), and in Paired Practice (ATE pages 15, 19, 91, 212, 302, 350,...).

See the following ancillary: Grammar and Vocabulary Exercises. 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. 1. integrate knowledge of social etiquette and linguistic structures; 2. connect activities and traditions of target culture to those of native culture; Conversation culturelle (pages 4, 27, 60, 78, 108, 125, ), in En Partenaire (pages 12, 38, 41, 45, 49, 70, ), and in Évaluation Orale (pages 51 and 422).

See the following ancillary: Grammar and Vocabulary Exercises. 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.
