A man who is ignorant of foreign languages is ignorant of his own. Johann Goethe
Overview
Students begin to use written and spoken French to interact with teachers, peers and others. They develop an understanding that languages are part of creation; by studying other languages they gain insight into the world that God has given us and has commanded us to care for. They will develop a range of descriptive and expressive language to talk and write about immediate environments, personal interests and feelings. They locate and analyse information from different sources presenting it in modes and formats suitable for the intended audience. Students identify the relationship between language and culture, understanding that personal and community identity are expressed through cultural expression and language use.

“The Lord said, “If as one people speaking the same language they have begun to do this, then nothing they plan to do will be impossible for them. Come, let us go down and confuse their language so they will not understand each other.” That is why it was called Babel – because there the Lord confused the language of the whole world. From there the Lord scattered them over the face of the whole earth.” Genesis 11:6-7, 9
