Check out these great resources available through ACTFL:
- NCSSFL-ACTFL Can-Do Statements: Progress Indicators for Language Learners were published in 2013 and are a wonderful model to help learners identify what they can do and then what they need to do to function at a targeted language proficiency. They can be downloaded from the ACTFL Website under ‘Publications.’
- Check out the summary of our newly updated or refreshed National Standards: the World Readiness Standards for Learning Languages. It can be downloaded from the ACTFL Website under ‘Publications.’ The new 4th Edition of the National Standards will be released shortly and available for purchase at the ACTFL Website!
- The Keys to Planning for Learning: Effective Curriculum, Unit and Lesson Design is a great new resource to guide educators in designing Standards and performance-based curricula. Authors Donna Clementi and Laura Terrill are engaging and clear and provide valuable tips, templates and advice. This can be purchased from the ACTFL Website along with the other two Keys books: The Keys to the Classroom for new teachers and The Keys to Assessing Language.
