In order to expand the base of foreign language study in an increasingly international society, a general curriculum guide to Spanish instruction has been developed for all grades from kindergarten through junior college. The guide provides for the coordination of language programs at all grade levels within a school system. The guidelines, which describe learning objectives, teaching strategies, suggested activities, evaluation, and both textual and nontextual resource materials for all educational levels, are grouped into sections for grades K-6, 7-8, 9-12, and for junior and community colleges. Development of students' expected mastery of the Spanish language and culture is traced in an outline of sequential language instruction programs. Emphasis is given to individualized instruction and the development of listening, speaking, reading, and writing skills. A bibliography and a list of sources of audiovisual and other instructional materials are appended. (CK)
