World-Readiness Standards For Learning Languages

The World-Readiness Standards for Learning Languages create a roadmap to guide learners to develop competence to communicate effectively and interact with cultural understanding. 'World-Readiness' signals that the Standards have been revised with important changes to focus on the literacy developed and the real-world applications. Learners who add another language and culture to their preparation are not only college- and career-ready, but are also ' world-ready' - that is, prepared to add the necessary knowledge, skills, and dispositions to their re sume s for entering postsecondary study or a career.
