ACTFL Standards

The ACTFL (American Council on the Teaching of Foreign Languages) Standards provide a framework for language learning, teaching, and assessment. They define what learners should be able to do at different stages, like understanding or speaking in real-life situations. These standards help teachers set clear goals, measure progress, and create meaningful language experiences. They emphasize communication, cultural understanding, and practical skills, ensuring learners can effectively use a foreign language in authentic contexts. Overall, ACTFL Standards guide the development of competent language users across various proficiency levels.
