This curriculum guide for Wisconsin's secondary school French programs begins with a section on guiding principles, briefly covering such concepts as the nature of language, the length of language study, language selection, the place of English in the foreign language classroom, the place of grammar, and the prereading phase of second language learning. New approaches to scheduling are also presented. The major portion of the guide is devoted to the skill and content tables which chart desired student progress in the areas of French phonology, morphology, syntax, vocabulary, and culture. Content objectives are outlined in a 4-year sequence for levels 1-4, and a 6-year sequence is outlined for grades 7-12. For similar guides for German, Spanish, and Russian, see FL 000 643, FL 001 014, and FL 001 015 respectively. (AF)
