engage in meaningful conversation, to understand and interpret spoken and written language, and to present

culture studied with their own, and participate in home and global communities.

spoken and written communication within the appropriate cultural context. Examples of “one-way” reading or

implies the ability to read or listen “between the lines” and “beyond the lines.”

Standard: 7.1 World Languages: All students will be able to use a world language in addition to English to

engage in meaningful conversation, to understand and interpret spoken and written language, and to present

information, concepts, and ideas, while also gaining an understanding of the perspectives of other cultures.

Through language study, they will make connections with other content areas, compare the language and

culture studied with their own, and participate in home and global communities.

Strand A Interpretive Mode: The mode of communication in which students demonstrate understanding of

spoken and written communication within the appropriate cultural context. Examples of “one-way” reading or

broadcasts, and speeches. Interpretation beyond the Novice level differs from comprehension because it

implies the ability to read or listen “between the lines” and “beyond the lines.”

Strand B Interpersonal Mode: The mode of communication in which students engage in direct oral and/or

written communication with others (e.g., conversing face-to-face, participating in online discussions or

videoconferences, instant messaging and text messaging, exchanging personal letters or e-mail messages).

Strand C Presentational Mode: The mode of communication in which students present, through oral and/or

written communications, information, concepts and ideas to an audience of listeners or readers with whom

there is no immediate interaction. Examples of this “one-to-many” mode of communication are making a

presentation to a group, posting an online video or webpage, creating and posting a podcast or videocast, and

writing an article for a newspaper.
