Preface

This curriculum guide is intended to provide vertical and horizontal framework for

the World Languages program of The Ewing Township Public Schools. It is designed to identify the essential components needed by teachers when they prepare instruction in the language of Spanish which will best meet the needs of their

students. The teacher’s knowledge of their students’ level of development, learning styles, and general readiness of the student to learn should be the guiding factors

in selecting the most appropriate ways to reach the goals and objectives defined by the guide.

The selected published materials are intended to provide resources to teacher in their preparation of instructional activities and teachers should feel free to integrate

other resources where appropriate as long as they are consistent with the goals and philosophy as outlined. Integration of concepts and skill developed in the Spanish language into other content areas is encouraged to stimulate real-life experiences

and meaning.

All students are not the same. They have different needs, learning styles and levels of readiness. Therefore, teachers will need to make choices in planning instruction

so that the needs of each student are addressed and the scope of the curriculum is accomplished.

Class Instructional Time: Block scheduling (87 minutes) – 5 days a week
