Course Description
ACTFL Exit level: Intermediate Low
Middle School Advanced level continues to develop students’ communicative and cultural competence by engaging with authentic communication and interaction using target language. Students at this level use a string of sentences to communicate. Students can understand sentences and frequently used expressions related to areas of most immediate relevance (e.g. very basic personal and family information, shopping, local geography, employment). Students can communicate in simple and routine tasks requiring a simple and direct exchange of information on familiar and routine matters. Also, they can describe in simple terms aspects of his/her background, immediate environment, and matters in areas of immediate need.
