FLAG French Program at Toll

  • The FLAG French Program at Toll
     
    FLAG French Language and Literature is a continuation of the elementary dual language immersion program which emphasizes higher levels of communication skills and comprehension strategies in the areas of listening, speaking, reading, and writing.  
     Students use precise and concise language for expressing themselves orally and in written form. The curriculum takes into account text complexity, a balance between literature and informational text, and an integrated approach to instruction. Readings will include novels and poems: L'envol des lettres 5e, Terrienne, Le secret d'Orbae, Vendredi ou la vie sauvage, and Le Roi Arthur.  Students also learn about the cultures of the French speaking world, which includes 29 countries, through articles, videos, and authentic experiences.

    Elementary FLAG Program

     

    The FLAG French program follows a 90:10 Dual Immersion Program model in elementary school. Students initially receive instruction in French for 90% of the day and in English for 10% of the day starting in kindergarten. The percentage of English increases annually until 50% of the day is taught in French and 50% in English by 5th grade. French language is taught both for language acquisition and content instruction.

     

    Careful consideration is given to the selection and planning of the content areas and themes that are taught in French. Dual Immersion classes are taught by fully credentialed, bilingual teachers who have additional preparation and expertise in teaching French.
