PREFACE To improve employment opportunities, to learn to value other cultures, and to enhance mental capacity all are compelling reasons for studying foreign languages; all are valid rationales for foreign languages in public schools. Kathy Checkley Supporting the process of communications is a major goal of the new national standards for world language learning. Others include learning about other cultures, developing insights into the characteristics of both language and culture, and the promoting of world language programs for all students (Stone, Met, & Phillips, 2002). In addition, recent research on the human brain reveals that cognitive flexibility is increased when students study a wide variety of disciplines, including languages. In the mid-1990 s, representatives of all of the national foreign language associations worked together to define a common set of standards for the teaching and learning of world languages (American Council on the Teaching of Foreign Languages, 1998). The National Standards in Foreign Language Education Project published Standards for Foreign Language Learning in 1996 and updated the document in 1999. Their work greatly influenced state standards, including the New Jersey Core Curriculum Standards for World Languages. Those texts and other research findings shaped this guide. The purpose of this document is to develop an articulated K-12 World Language Curriculum for the Northern Valley Schools. Through the implementation of this guide, it is expected that the students of the Northern Valley will benefit from a sound, well-connected program that is linked to the New Jersey and national World Language standards and based on well-researched strategies in world language instruction. Furthermore, where applicable, objectives are linked to New Jersey standards for Technology Literacy and Career Education and Consumer, Family, and Life Skills. To assist teachers in the instructional process, numerous suggested strategies and resources are included in this document. ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS This guide, revised under the direction of the Northern Valley Administrators Association, is part of the process of continuous curriculum evaluation. The Northern Valley Principals Association provided assistance to the project and the Instructional Council served as an advisory group. I would like to offer my gratitude to these organizations for their support. The Northern Valley Schools World Language Curriculum Guide represents the efforts of a committee composed of faculty representatives from all of the districts within the consortium, Mr. Jim Buoye, World Language Supervisor for the high school district, and me. (A complete listing of committee members appears on page iii). This committee worked for over a year to conduct research, discuss national trends in world language education, share ideas, and write the guide. They devoted countless hours to the task and their efforts and expertise are most appreciated. iv

A special expression of thanks is extended to Mrs. Debbie Stevens, Administrative Secretary, for her efforts in the preparation of this guide. She spent many hours typing and organizing the drafts and final version of this document. Dr. Patricia M.

PHILOSOPHY In the twenty-first century, New Jersey s population is becoming ever more ethnically and culturally diverse. Therefore, our students must be able to communicate in more than one language. They must be able to interact appropriately with members of other cultures in order to be productive members of this global society. Language and communication are at the core of the human experience. The United States must equip its students linguistically and culturally to communicate successfully in a pluralistic society. Students who develop competence in more than one language and culture will be able to develop insight into their own language and culture and act with greater awareness of their own relationship to other cultures. The goals for second language learning, which reflect the New Jersey Core Curriculum Standards for World Languages, Technology Literacy and Career and Life Skills, ensure a vertical articulation of the program, from one grade level to the next. Students will be expected to develop communicative and cultural competence in a language along the continuum of the learning process. This document will serve as a general guideline in the teaching of World Languages in the Northern Valley Schools. The American Council of Teachers of Foreign Languages (ACTFL) established guidelines for student performance for K-12 learners that outline levels of performance which can be realistically achieved after a specific sequence of study. ACTFL defines the levels of performance as Novice, Intermediate, and Pre-Advanced. Each level includes various ranges in proficiency. The achievement of these levels of proficiency is determined by factors including contact time in the target language, continuity of the language studied, student motivation and student ability. We recognize that within the Northern Valley, there are program variations in the implementation of the World Language curriculum. These program variations have an impact on student language proficiency. Regina Eftychiou, Demarest Middle School Laura Scanlan, Haworth School vi
