SLIDE 2 Enduring Ideas for Ontario’s new French Curriculum that guides the overall document
“By studying a second language, students learn a
great deal about interacting effectively with
- thers, because they have to focus closely on
what it is they are trying to communicate; what they need others to understand, and why; how their oral or written expression is received and
interpreted; and
what others are trying to communicate to them, and
why.
(continued…)
SLIDE 3
…As they learn to exchange information and
ideas in another language, they also learn about other ways of thinking, other ways of doing things, and other ways of living – in short, about other people and other cultures” (7).
