"The World-Readiness Standards for Learning Languages published in 2015 by the American Council on the Teaching of Foreign Languages (ACTFL) state that the success of each student on the world stage must include being able "to communicate with respect and cultural understanding in more than one language." ... In addition, these rigorous language learning standards support the vision of the Kansas Board of Education "that a successful Kansas high school graduate has the academic preparation, cognitive preparation, technical skills, employability skills, and civic engagement to be successful in postsecondary education, in the attainment of an industry recognized certification or the workforce, without the need for remediation." They also support a curriculum tying proficiency in a language other than English to a student's educational goals or career pathway. The committee tried to provide a set of standards that is easy to follow, rigorous, proficiency based, and that supports authentic assessments."--Introduction.
