- Summary:
-
This document provides a common foundation for bilingual programming across the Western Canadian provinces and territories for K-12 students. The framework is not intended for the development of curricula for French immersion or bilingual programs in native languages. The term bilingual programming is defined for the purposes of this document to describe a partial immersion program where English and a second language are both languages of instruction. Language arts is taught using both languages of instruction. Other subjects are taught in either English or the specific foreign language. Cultural knowledge, skills, and attitudes are often taught using an integrated approach. This framework presupposes that the following portions of the instructional day are allocated to instruction in the second language: K-6: 50%, 7-9: 30%, 10-12: 20%. This framework is designed to assist curriculum writers in developing programming and curricula that meet the needs of students in their respective jurisdictions. It encompasses bilingual programming as a whole, is a generic document intended to be applicable to the study of most languages, provides a progression of specific learning outcomes, and is intended to be delivered in an integrated manner. It is divided into three major sections: language arts; subject area experiences; and culture. The document format resembles a series of charts with multiple columns per page wherein specific information is conveyed for each grade level for every subject and issue addressed, all geared to a specific general learning outcome. (Contains 17 references.) (KFT)
