Communication

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.
