The History of the Standards
在美国教育部和美国国家人文基金会为期三年的资助下, an eleven-member task force, representing a variety of languages, levels of instruction, program models, and geographic regions, 承担了定义语言学习内容标准的任务——学生应该知道什么和能够做什么. The final document, Standards for Foreign Language Learning: Preparing for the 21st Century, first published in 1996, represents an unprecedented consensus among educators, business leaders, government, 语言教学在美国教育中的定义和作用. This visionary document has been used by teachers, administrators, 以及州和地方各级的课程开发人员开始改善我国学校的语言教育.
《电子下注软件》是根据15年多来语言教育工作者的实践经验进行修订的. 指导原则是明确语言学习者在每个标准上应该做什么来展示自己的进步.
The World-Readiness Standards for Learning Languages 制定路线图,引导学习者发展有效沟通和文化理解互动的能力. “为世界做好准备”标志着该标准已经进行了修订,并进行了重要修改,以关注所开发的读写能力和现实世界的应用. 在准备中加入另一种语言和文化的学习者不仅可以为大学和职业做好准备, but are also “world-ready”—that is, prepared to add the necessary knowledge, skills, 以及他们进入高等教育学习或职业生涯的意向.
These Standards are equally applicable to:
- 各级学习者,从幼儿园到高等教育水平
- native speakers and heritage speakers, including ESL students
- American Sign Language
- Classical Languages (Latin and Greek)
