The vision guiding the 2019 World Languages Standards for California Public Schools, Kindergarten Through Grade Twelve (WL Standards) is that every student develops communication skills that are interpersonal (two-way signing, speaking, or writing), interpretive (listening, reading, or viewing), and presentational (signing, speaking, or writing). These skills are essential for our students to effectively navigate the international marketplace; interact meaningfully across cultures; and succeed in business, research, and international relations. The WL Standards are aligned with and support recent legislation and initiatives that champion these outcomes.
