ACTFL Standards of Language Learning

Language and communication are at the heart of the human experience. The United States must educate students who are linguistically and culturally equipped to communicate successfully in a pluralistic American society and abroad. This imperative envisions a future in which ALL students will develop and maintain proficiency in English and at least one other language, modern or classical.

The Foreign Language Department of Pennsbury School District strongly supports a curriculum based upon the 5 C’s of Foreign Language Education as delineated in our National Foreign Language Standards. We are committed to providing all our students a full spectrum of opportunities to acquire these new skills.
