dc.description.abstractLiterature of the second language teaching profession recognizes the need for infusing second language curriculum with substantive content of significant educational validity. In response to this concern, the study designs and justifies an alternative interpretation of the grade 12 Core French curriculum. A framework is suggested for approaching the task of defensible curriculum design. A theoretical grounding is provided through the application of curriculum theory to the design of a curriculum. A situational grounding is disclosed through an exploration of the setting of the particular problem which lead to the study. These two layers of justification are transĀ­lated into an interpretation of a new program of study for grade 12 Core French. A design is presented which promotes the French language as the medium in a unified program of interdisciplinary inquiry into the relationship between language, communication and culture. The focus and nature of the program are outlined through discussion of aims, content, possible strategies for developing instructional plans, and implementation guidelines.
