The curriculum guides for foreign language and intercultural education programs in United States dependents schools overseas provide instructional ideas designed to promote learning about the language and culture of the host nation. The series, covering kindergarten through eighth grade, was written by host nation teachers, classroom teachers, and curriculum coordinators representing the five regions of dependents schools. At each level, instructional units focus on aspects of the host culture, with host country language instruction objectives included in each unit. A variety of instructional activities are suggested, to be used as desired by teachers. The eighth grade guide contains units geared to a better understanding of the host nation--its history, economic system, institutions, community services, holidays, customs and traditions, art, literature, music, and ecology. The guide is illustrated with student art. (MSE)
