How Does Language Curriculum Work?

How does language curriculum work?

The language curriculum that we use is made of four different levels.

We’ll start with something very basic, like vocabulary. We’ll learn the words for table, chair, knife, and cutting board. Gradually, we’ll build up a vocabulary so that we can recognize objects and name them. We’ll learn how to say a full sentence, like “This is a table,” “This is a chair.” We’ll learn how to use verbs, like “I walk to the store,” “I leave the house.” We’ll put those sentences together to form a paragraph, which can turn into a story—“I grew up here,” “I went to school here,” “I did this.”

We’ll learn how to use past tense, future tense, present tense, and all the different aspects of those as well. And we’ll build that up even more to talk about opinions, hypotheticals, and abstract concepts.

All of those things are foundations to speak of the worldview perspective that the people have, and the worldview perspective that we have as Christians—and the hope that we have in Jesus Christ.
