The curriculum guide for French second language programs (FSL) in the State of Louisiana, presented in French with some English introduction, outlines the objectives and design of newly mandated FSL instruction in grades four through six. It was constructed for use with any method or combination of methods of instruction in school systems having sequential programs. The program's philosophy and rationale are outlined, and a chart is provided to assist in using the guide. The program's terminal objectives are presented in chart form, with references to specific linguistic content and appropriate instructional levels, and with cross-references to vocabulary and class activities outlined in subsequent sections. The American Council on the Teaching of Foreign Languages' Oral Proficiency Interview and notes on its administration are included, and a list of print and audiovisual resources is appended. (MSE)
