1. Use the language to engage in interpersonal communication.
(Interpersonal Communication : Person-to-Person Communication)
Interpersonal skills are used in informal, one-on-one or small group conversations. Students can ask
for clarification when needed and negotiate with each other during the conversation. Most
interpersonal communication involves everyday topics, like greetings, instructions, directions, current
events, class discussions, news about family and friends, social events, requests for information,
academic discourse, and so on.
2. Understand words and concepts presented in the language.
(Interpretive Communication: Listening and Reading)
Interpretive skills involve receiving information in a situation where meaning cannot be negotiated.
Students hear or see the message and respond based on their interpretation. These messages could be
about any topic and come from a wide variety of sources and media: textbooks, newspapers, signs,
websites, news broadcasts, television and radio programs, lectures, presentations-live and recorded,
etc.
3. Use the language to present information to an audience.
(Presentational Communication: Speaking and Writing)
Presentational skills involve preparing information to be shared with an audience, either through
speaking or writing. Students have time to draft, revise, and practice presentations that show their use
of language. These presentations vary from somewhat informal, such as a quick report to the class on
an article, to quite formal, which might be a culminating project involving a multimedia display with
a speech.
4. Compare the students’ culture and the target culture.
(Culture)
Learning about culture means building an understanding of the practices, perspectives and
products of a society. The practices involve patterns of social interactions, such as how people are
greeted or how respect is shown. Perspectives are the values, beliefs, ideas, and attitudes that are an
integral part of life. Products are the books, foods, laws, music, games, etc., that are created and used
within the society.

Connections to Language & Literacy – CLL (Comparisons)
The world language being studied, referred to as the target language, helps students develop a greater
understanding and insight into the nature of language and culture, including their native or first
language. These comparisons, along with the three communication modes, blend together to focus
students on language and literacy.
Connections to Other Disciplines-COD (Connections)
Studying a world language involves making connections with other academic disciplines, formally
and informally. Within the communication skills, the language arts of reading, writing, speaking, and
listening are utilized. As students learn about numbers and currency, mathematics and economics are
included. All of social studies is part of culture, as are the arts, health, physical education, and
science. Career and technical skills in these areas are also drawn on, and technology is woven
throughout world languages as a resource for materials and a means of expression and presentation.
Communities – CMT (Communities)
Students preparing for success in the 21st
Century need to access knowledge and information from
other communities, and use that information to function well with people from diverse backgrounds.
The common Clarifying Objectives are broad enough to allow each World Languages program to
address the universal content and skills that are inherent to all language programs, and the sample
Assessment Prototypes illustrate ways that these objectives might be assessed in the classroom in
ways that are unique to Classical Language, Dual & Heritage Language and Modern Language
programs. Specific support materials, tools for implementation, and other information will be
provided through the Essential Standards Instructional Toolkit and professional development
