In this book chapter, Bragger and Rice define content-based instruction and elucidate the paradigm shift in language teaching under the National Standards, with a special focus on Connections. They focus on Krashen's developmental modal (i +1) to describe the unpreparedness of students, especially with regard to the language/content gap, in foreign language education. Several examples for content-based learning are provided in French. This chapter would be especially relevant to teachers and language program coordinators seeking to ease the transition between levels.#ClassroomExamples #Curriculum #3.Connections #French #Teachersandteaching #BookSection #All #Principalfocus #Outcomes
