Abstract
Teaching and learning occur within a socio-cultural context of values, traditions, and relationships. World language teachers focus on the development of language learners as culturally proactive and self-regulated participants in the process of learning a new language. Modeling respect for the culture in which the language is embedded, encourages both novice and advanced learners to go beyond the learning of a dialect and enter into the global community of world language learners. The lesson plans and narrative are evidence of how acquiring a new language can be an interactive, engaging, and enjoyable high school learning experience.
