General Course Information and Notes

VERSION DESCRIPTION

Major Concepts/Content:

M/J Russian Intermediate is a continuation of M/J Beginning Russian.  Students will expand their knowledge of the language and its culture.  Students will be able to engage in basic listening and speaking activities.  Basic skills in reading and writing, and culture, connections, comparisons and communities are included in this one-year course.

Special Note:  It is each district school board's responsibility to determine high school world language placement policies for those students who complete the M/J Russian sequence in middle school.

Course content requirements for the two-course sequence M/J Russian Beginning (0707100) and Intermediate (0707110) are equivalent to Russian 1 (0707300). Course content requirements for the three-course sequence that includes M/J Russian Beginning (0707100), Intermediate (0707110) and Advanced (0707120) may be equivalent to the two-course sequence Russian 1 (0707300) and Russian 2 (0707310).

The standards and benchmarks listed for this course are aligned with the expected levels of language proficiency, rather than grade levels.

Florida’s Benchmarks for Excellent Student Thinking (B.E.S.T.) Standards:

This course includes Florida’s B.E.S.T. ELA Expectations (EE) and Mathematical Thinking and Reasoning Standards (MTRs) for students. Florida educators should intentionally embed these standards within the content and their instruction as applicable. For guidance on the implementation of the EEs and MTRs, please visit https://www.cpalms.org/Standards/BEST_Standards.aspx and select the appropriate B.E.S.T. Standards package.

English Language Development (ELD) Standards Special Notes Section:

Teachers are required to provide listening, speaking, reading and writing instruction that allows English language learners (ELL) to communicate for social and instructional purposes within the school setting.   For the given level of English language proficiency and with visual, graphic, or interactive support, students will interact with grade level words, expressions, sentences and discourse to process or produce language necessary for academic success. The ELD standard should specify a relevant content area concept or topic of study chosen by curriculum developers and teachers which maximizes an ELL’s need for communication and social skills.
