Why Our Alignment with ACTFL Matters?
At Klett World Languages, we are dedicated to providing language programs that empower learners to communicate effectively and confidently. By aligning our programs with well-established standards and guidelines—such as the ACTFL World Readiness Standards, NCSSFL-ACTFL Can-Do Statements, and the updated 2024 ACTFL Proficiency Guidelines—we ensure that our curriculum is both consistent and grounded in research. These frameworks, developed with input from language education experts across the country, form a reliable foundation for language learning that prioritizes real-world communication, cultural understanding, and critical thinking.
By utilizing ACTFL Performance Descriptors and the 21st Century Skills Map, we emphasize a structured, adaptable pathway that supports diverse learners at every proficiency level. This approach allows students and teachers to work toward clear, measurable goals, fostering essential skills and building confidence on the journey to becoming engaged global citizens.
