Language proficiency is the ability of an individual to speak or perform in a language.

Proficiency Guidelines were created by the American Council on the Teaching of Foreign Languages ACTFL in order to provide a means of assessing the proficiency of a foreign language speaker.

ACTFL guidelines are broken up into different proficiency levels: novice, intermediate, advanced, superior, and distinguished. Additionally, each of these (except superior and distinguished) is further subdivided into low, mid and high. These proficiency levels are defined separately for ability to listen, speak, read and write.

Proficiency goals in high school

French 1 - Novice Mid

French 2 - Novice High

French 3 - Intermediate Low

French 4 - Intermediate Mid

AP French Lang. & Culture - Intermediate High - Advanced Low (College Board standards apply)

How will we get there?

By Comprehensible Input! As the teacher , I will be providing lots of engaging and meaningful spoken and written language that the students understand. The more reading and listening the students do, the more language they will acquire!

In turn, the students will commit to listening with the intent to understand and being actively engaged in the target language communication.
