ACTFL (American Council on the Teaching of Foreign Languages) is an organization aiming to improve and expand the teaching and learning of all languages at all levels of instruction.
ACTFL is an individual membership organization of more than 13,000 language educators and administrators from elementary through graduate education, as well as in government and industry.
Chickering uses ACTFL as a guide to align our curriculum with the World Readiness Standards.
More useful resources include ACTFL Performance Descriptors for Language Learners, the NCSSFL-ACTFL Can-Do Statements, and the ACTFL Proficiency Guidelines.
