WORLD LANGUAGE OVERVIEW Canyons School District World Language Instructional Guides

Canyons School District’s World Language Instructional Guides are based on the Utah World Language Core Standards for Profciency and the Profciency Guidelines as defned in the 2012 American Council on the Teaching of Foreign Languages (ACTFL) (https://www.actf.org). The standards provide a clear description of what can be done with language at various levels (novice, intermediate, advanced) in all language domains (speaking, writing, listening, and reading) and are integrated in the areas of communication and culture. SCOPE & SEQUENCE The World Language Instructional Guides are divided into units. These are the main units to be covered during one school year and can be supplemented with district approved materials. Brighton High School follows a separate academic calendar so the scope and sequence is divided in 3 trimesters. Here is an example for a 6-unit instructional guide scope and sequence. This can be found in the year at a glance for eachunit.
