MESSAGE FROM THE MINISTER OF EDUCATION, SCIENCE AND TECHNOLOGY
  A c ic l m i c       ide ed he hea        f a lea i g i i i , which means that schools or universities cannot exist
    without a curriculum. With its importance in formal education, curriculum has become a dynamic process due to the
 cha ge ha cc i               cie . The ef e, i i b ade        e e, c ic l m efe        he     al lea i g e e iences of
                                     i di id al       l i ch l, b i         cie a   ell
                                                   (Bilbao et al., 2008).

I have always believed in the transformative power of education, particularly in a developing country, and I strongly
support the government s commitment to sustainable development in education. Indeed, because of the role of the
curriculum in the provision of quality education, I am honoured to sanction and present revised national curricula in
several disciplines. Each curriculum document was developed by a team of intelligent, innovative and diligent education
officers, who received invaluable input from teachers and lecturers; students and parents; as well as private and public
stakeholders.

In keeping with the changing demands of education and life in the twenty-first century, revised curricula have moved away
from a content-based, knowledge-focused approach. The new documents focus on higher-order thinking skills; cross-
curricula understanding; collaboration; creativity and real world problem solving. With a view to strengthening national
development activities, the new curriculum documents accommodate the United Nation s Sustainable Development Goals
(SGAs), ensuring that at each grade level there are clear processes and procedures which allow teachers to align
instructional strategies and classroom-based assessments to agreed international standards and benchmarks.

The publication, dissemination and successful implementation of these curriculum guidelines will further unite us in our
efforts to create citizens of character, who are committed to life-long learning and who are always willing to serve.

To the education officers, subject specialists and teachers, who are devoted to transforming the lives of students
throughout The Bahamas, thank you for your continued contributions to the building of our country!

Minister of Education, Science and Technology

MESSAGE FROM THE DIRECTOR

The Commonwealth of The Bahamas is fast becoming home to a diverse student population. The Caribbean Community
(CARICOM), in 2006, recognising our regional need for competence in Spanish, secured the assistance of the
Organisation of States (OAS) for a project to enhance the teaching and learning of Spanish at the primary school level in
all CARICOM Anglophone countries.

Given our geographical location, Bahamian citizens, in particular, need to develop competencies in Spanish language in
order to cultivate positive partnerships with future allies, clients, co-workers and friends. This 2017 Primary Spanish
Curriculum Guidelines document provides a clear vision of what students should know and be able to do in the target
language. The document s Scope and Sequence and Scope of Work provide teachers with standards, objectives,
activities, assessment tools and resources that will ensure that primary school students develop proficiency in the Spanish
language, while at the same time developing cultural literacy.

The Bahamas Department of Education is pleased to present this Primary Spanish Curriculum Guidelines document,
which is designed to promote the implementation of twenty-first century foreign language teaching.

Based on sound research, comparative analysis and best classroom practices, this third edition of the Primary Spanish
Curriculum Guidelines will enable students, teachers, administrators and parents to strengthen the teaching and learning
of Spanish in government and independent primary schools throughout the archipelago.

Director of Education

MINISTRY OF EDUCATION
MISSION STATEMENT
The mission of the Ministry / Department of Education is to provide all persons in The Bahamas with an opportunity to
receive an education that will equip them with the necessary beliefs, attitudes and skills required for work and life in a
democratic society, guided by Christian values.

                                           MODERN LANGUAGES UNIT
VISION
We envision a Bahamas where students are linguistically, culturally and technologically equipped to communicate
successfully in Spanish, which will inspire a life-long interest in and appreciation for Hispanic cultures, thereby creating
windows of opportunity in our global village.

MISSION STATEMENT
To ensure student proficiency in the Spanish language, we will continue to enhance the learning environment by providing
relevant curricula, producing indigenous materials and facilitating teacher development programmes.

BELIEF STATEMENTS
We believe that:
1. Language and culture are inseparable.
2. Modern Languages skills are necessary for global communication and 21st century citizenship.
3. Modern Languages instruction provides students with an improved awareness of their own language and culture.
4. Modern Languages programmes guide students into an increased awareness and appreciation of their traditions,
   customs, and values as well as those of Hispanic countries.
5. Teaching processes that help to reduce students language performance anxiety and strengthen motivation will
   enhance learning opportunities.
6. Proficiency in Modern Languages enhances self-confidence, improves academic achievement, heightens creativity
   and sharpens mental flexibility.

RATIONALE
      The reality of globalisation has placed The Bahamas in a position where, to survive economically, it has to be able
      to compete internationally.      Our unique location places us in an enviable position at the crossroads between
      Europe and the Americas, including The Caribbean.         Our geographical proximity to these diverse countries
      demands that, for survival, we forge social, economic and political partnerships with bodies such as CARICOM,
      WTO, NAFTA, FTAA, and OAS. It is incumbent upon all educators to prepare students for the multi-lingual world if
      they want to compete in any arena. Effective communication is of paramount importance because it is at the heart
      of the human experience.

      To be linguistically challenged at this time in our development is a disadvantage. The Bahamas has come to realize
      that Spanish is the predominant second language in our region. It is therefore imperative that we develop language
      competency in Spanish as we advance our economy in tourism, international banking, trade and investment and
      other industries. The acquisition of a second language by our students would positively impact all areas of our
      society and permit our students and country to compete in the global arena.

      In order to keep pace with the changing times, the Modern Language Unit, in the Curriculum Division of the
      Department of Education, has revised the Spanish curricula. The programme at the primary school level has laid
      the foundation for the high school and continues to build on this foundation. In fact, extensive research by linguists
      on second-language acquisition has shown that children at the primary school level (ages 6 – 11) are more
      receptive to foreign language studies than are older children. Furthermore, the Society of Neuroscience has found
      that: “Being bilingual from an early age – between ages 5 and 7 – significantly affects the brain s structure (2008).

      These revised curricula will promote levels of attainment in the four language domains: listening, speaking, reading
      and writing, as our students prepare for the National Examinations. In so doing, we will be well on our way to
      becoming a multi-lingual nation. The new thrust is on communicative objectives in authentic situations, as opposed
      to topics in isolation. The curricula must cater to the diverse needs of students and are, therefore, student-centred.
      These integrated curricula reinforce links with other disciplines and promote an appreciation for cultural diversity.

      It is hoped that students develop a positive attitude towards foreign language-learning and, in the process, develop
      a greater measure of their true potential as life-long learners and as citizens of the Commonwealth of The
      Bahamas.

DEFINITION OF TERMS

This document comprises several components: the Overarching Goal; Sub-Goals; Standards;
Scope and Sequence; Scope of Work and the Appendices.

Overarching Goal               defines the ultimate outcome of foreign language learning, and outlines the intended
                               purpose of the curriculum document.

Sub-Goals                      form the major contextual framework for foreign language teaching: linguistic,
                               interpersonal, environmental and cultural aspects.

Standards                      show the progressive attainment levels. They define what students should know and
                               be able to do upon completion of specific levels of instruction.

Scope and Sequence             is a map outlining the progression of the communicative objectives and presenting
                               subject content to be accomplished at the end of each level/academic year. Scope
                               refers to the content to be taught; sequence refers to the order in which the content
                               should be taught.

Scope of Work                  develops each communicative objective with suggested content, activities, assessment
                               and resources to facilitate and enhance the teaching / learning process.

 1.   A Mandatory Sequence for Teaching Communicative Objectives can be found at the beginning of each Grade
      Level. To ensure standardisation, all teachers MUST teach these objectives as specified for each term. Activities and
      assessment may be adjusted to meet the needs of the students, but the sequence of objectives is mandatory.
 2.   The document is flexible; therefore instructional strategies / classroom activities should be designed for the diverse
      needs of students: low achievers as well as high-flyers.
 3.   Sub-goals 1.1 to 1.3 are not intended to be taught separately. They must be integrated into all Communicative
      Objectives.
 4.   Teachers must familiarise themselves with the Standards and Scope and Sequence for the attainment levels.
 5.   Teachers should refer to the Scope of Work for appropriate vocabulary, structures, suggested activities, suggested
      assessment and resources.
 6.   The four linguistic skills – Listening, Speaking, Reading and Writing, along with Culture, should be integrated into
      classroom instruction.
 7.   Grammar and Vocabulary should be integrated into classroom instruction and not be taught in isolation.
      Vocabulary should be constantly expanded upon from year to year.
 8.   Curriculum Links, including integrated technology, must be fostered. See Appendices for a few teaching ideas.
 9.   The methods used for assessing student achievement should reflect classroom teaching and learning strategies.
10.   An Assessment Weighting Guide is included in the Appendices.
