Learning  French  in  ALpine  School  District

Learning a foreign language is exciting!  It is also fun, challenging and rewarding.  This year we will follow a collaboratively created curriculum that aligns with both ACTFL guidelines and the UT state core standards for World Languages.  This curriculum goes away from a traditional focus on learning about the language through grammar and structure to a newer, richer, research-supported focus on a student’s language proficiency, i.e. what can they actually DO with the language.  Please visit this website often to locate resources for each unit.
