¡Buenos días! Hello, my name is Alissa Stone and I am the Spanish Connections
teacher here at Midland Middle School. This will be my third year teaching
at Midland. I previously taught at Shaw High School for fourteen years. I am
married with two children. We have two dogs, Jack and Chica, and three
African dwarf frogs.
The goals of the modern language standards are:
To equip students with realistic lifelong skills that will enable them to
function competently in a language other than their own and communicate and
compete effectively in the global community and marketplace;
To instill a greater awareness of their own culture and the culture(s) of
others;
To enrich students' lives by increasing their appreciation for language and
culture.
The modern language curriculum will develop students’ skills in the skill
areas of listening, speaking, reading, writing and cultural competence. In
addition, the curriculum will provide them with the ability to view, absorb,
and evaluate material from non-print sources.
