The
worldview
that
developed
and
shaped
this
unit
is
the
Christian
perspective
on
appreciation
of
diversity
and
the
greatness
of
God
reflected
through
the
diversity
in
this
world.
One
of
the
ways
to
experience
this
is
by
learning
more
about
each
other,
who
is
not
only
created
in
the
image
of
God
but
also
unique.
Furthermore,
this
aspect
of
faith
and
learning
plays
a
crucial
role,
especially
in
a
Spanish
class,
since
this
provides
a
purpose
for
learning
a
foreign
language
in
addition
to
the
language
and
culture
that
the
students
are
immersed.
Hence,
this
unit
will
aim
to
depict
the
diversity
in
Christ
by
focusing
on
the
two
main
aspects:
first
of
all,
learning
of
a
foreign
language,
Spanish,
and
get
exposed
to
another
culture;
secondly,
by
getting
to
know
more
about
other
people.
The
lesson
plans
from
this
unit
will
offer
space
and
opportunity
for
the
students
to
introduce
themselves
to
others,
listen
to
each
other,
and
discover
the
similarities
and
differences
among
them
while
also
learning
and
practicing
Spanish.
With
the
integration
of
Christian
faith,
these
two
aspects
of
learning
can
complement
each
other
very
well.
The
historical
timeline
of
foreign
language
instruction
and
the
spectrum
of
its
position
in
many
of
the
schoolsespecially
in
lower
grade
levelsclearly
shows
how
the
perspective
on
foreign
language
has
changed.
In
the
past,
learning
a
foreign
language
had
not
been
valued
much
as
it
is
present
in
education,
and
this
is
shown
mainly
in
the
following
areas.
First
of
all,
the
amount
of
time
that
students
spend
in
a
foreign
language
classroom
has
increased.
For
instance,
even
in
Forest
Hills
District,
students
had
Spanish
once
a
week
until
few
years
ago;
yet
now,
