  Curriculum Maps   Grading Guidelines 

World Languages  7-12

"Language is the road map of a culture. It tells you where its people come from and where they are going."

Rita Mae Brown 

Goals of World Language Education

The New York State Learning Standards for LOTE are divided into two language groups: Modern Languages and Classical Languages. Modern languages include any language that has living, native speakers. Modern languages are contrasted with Classical languages, which include Latin, ancient Greek, ancient Hebrew, and other languages from earlier time periods in human history.  These updated learning standards for both Modern and Classical Languages are organized into two anchor standards: Communication and Cultures. The Communication Anchor Standard for all languages is broken down into three Standards—one for each mode of communication (Interpretive, Interpersonal, Presentational).  The Cultures Anchor Standard is broken down into two Standards: the Relating Cultural Practices and Products to Perspectives standard and the Cultural Comparisons standard.

Unlike the standards of other disciplines, the NYS Learning Standards for World Languages are not grade-banded, but instead are grouped into three proficiency ranges that correspond to the World Language Checkpoints (A, B, C) that reflect levels of achievement students must reach, generally over the course of two years of study each.  Students meet the standards by demonstrating proficiency at the levels consistent with the lower end of the range for each Checkpoint. This demonstration of proficiency generally occurs by the end of 8th grade for Checkpoint A, by the end of 10th grade for Checkpoint B, and by the end of 12th grade for Checkpoint C.

The New York State (NYS) World Language Standards 2021 emphasize the importance of multilingualism and cultural competence in a globalized society. The world language curriculum is designed to equip students with the skills to communicate effectively in another language while fostering an appreciation for diverse cultures.

Through immersive learning experiences, students engage in listening, speaking, reading, and writing activities that promote proficiency. The curriculum encourages critical thinking and real-world application of language skills, allowing students to navigate various contexts and situations.

Additionally, the NYS standards focus on the integration of cultural perspectives, encouraging students to explore the practices, products, and perspectives of the cultures associated with the language they are learning. This comprehensive approach not only enhances linguistic abilities but also prepares students to become informed global citizens, capable of participating in and contributing to an interconnected world.

Overall, the NYS World Language Curriculum aims to inspire a love for languages and cultures, nurturing lifelong learners who can communicate across borders and build meaningful connections.

World Language students will be assessed on their progress toward proficiency in the three Modes of Communication areas. (Interpretive, Interpersonal, and Presentational). At the beginning phases of language aquisition, learners will spend time in the Interpretive mode. As they progress, they will engage more and more in the areas of Interpersonal and Presentational skills.
