The program includes appropriate standards and skill objectives for four years of foreign language study. Each of the topics has a separate chart detailing objectives and activities designed to help assess student skill in the four major skills.
Teachers are free to use preferred methods of instruction .
Any teaching materials can easily be incorporated . The portfolios provide a place to file key papers such as work returned, assignments missed when absent, clues for a project or game, projects in progress, and much more. Assignments become either preparation activities or pass-offs. Teacher workload is reduced in that preparation assignments can be graded by students and skills can be passed off by teacher, student aides or even volunteers. Pass-offs are quickly graded because the work either meets the standards or it does not.
