Goals for 5th Grade Spanish Class
Resources
Students will review and continue to use skills previously acquired, be introduced to new areas of World Languages learning, move through the developmental process and proceed to a comfortable proficiency in:
Communication
Communication is the functional strand and comprises the twin objectives of receptive language (that is, the ability to listen to and read in the target language on a variety of topics) and expressive language (that is, the ability to speak and write in the target language on a similar variety of topics).

Culture
Culture is the societal strand and comprises study of the received ideas and attitudes of the target culture as well as how those ideas and attitudes express themselves in the overt practices and products of that culture.

Comparisons and Connections
Comparisons and Connections are the interdisciplinary strands and involve connections with other content areas; the expansion of student knowledge of cultures and languages through study of the target language, specifically the continual discovery of perspectives, practices, products and linguistic structures similar to and different from their own; and the development of the ability to hypothesize about cultural and linguistic systems in general.

Communities
Communities is the enrichment, extra-curricular and post-instructional strand and involves students showing evidence of becoming lifelong learners by using the target language for personal enjoyment and enrichment both within and beyond the school setting.
