Publications on the National Standards

This article is of interest to administrators and educators working to influence policies related to foreign language education. The United States has rarely created explicit policies regarding language education. In this absence foreign language professional organizations collaborated to design the national Standards and subsequently drew upon them to participate in a variety of educational initiatives. The Standards have been effectively utilized in states efforts to create Standards, in accreditation agencies, and by governing boards.
