WORLD LANGUAGE INSTRUCTIONAL GUIDE SECONDARY OVERVIEW Canyons School District’s World Language Instructional Guides are based on the Utah World Language Core Standards for Proficiency and the Proficiency Guidelines as defined in the 2024 American Council on the Teaching of Foreign Languages (ACTFL) ( https://www.actfl.org ). The standards, for grades 6-12, 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 organized into units that provide a suggested pacing for the school year. These units are intended to support planning and instruction . Teachers are encouraged to adjust the sequence and timing based on the needs of their students and site-specific factors, in collaboration with their school’s PLC. Brighton High School follows a trimester schedule, so the sample scope and sequence is adapted accordingly. A 6-unit example is provided to illustrate how instruction might be paced across the year. This sample can be found in the "Year at a Glance" section of the instructional guide. When planning each unit: ● Begin with the unit’s communicative goals and performance outcomes. ● Choose vocabulary that aligns with those goals and reflects the themes and real-world tasks students will engage in. ● Select sentence frames that support students in expressing key ideas and practicing essential language structures. It’s important to collaborate with your PLC to determine instructional practices like the use of vocabulary and sentence frames that are developmentally appropriate, culturally relevant, and responsive to the needs of your students.
