WL Course Outcomes
These World Language Course Outcomes by level were originally developed by a team of World Language teachers in Seattle working with a national consultant, Donna Clementi, in 2010. They were updated in August 2015 to match the revised World-Readiness Standards for Learning Languages:

and Washington's revised World Language Learning Standards:
The targets set by the World Language teachers in 2010 were:
Level 1 Novice Low to Novice Mid
Level 2 Novice Mid to Novice High
Level 3 Novice High to Intermediate Low
Level 4 Intermediate Low to Intermediate Mid
Level 5 Intermediate Mid to PreAdvanced
based on the ACTFL Proficiency Guidelines:
