NJ Standards for Foreign Languages

My area of study is world language, to be more specific, Italian.  Compared to many other majors and subject areas, the standards for world language are very long and have many different categories.  All foreign language programs in public schools are forced to adapt their curriculum by these standards and of course to the content areas (Italian, Spanish, French, etc.).  There are three strands that the curriculum must follow:  Strand A; Interpretive Mode, Strand B; Interpersonal Mode and Strand C; Presentational Mode.  Each strand comes with a set of standards that content area and curriculum must abide by.  Since it is a foreign language, each standard must match a novice to expert level of a student learner.  It is the teacher's job to make sure that the curriculum that he or she is teaching both meets the standards and also meets the students' levels of abilities in the target language.  Here is a record of what the New Jersey Standards for world languages look like:  http://www.state.nj.us/education/cccs/standards/7/7.1.htm.
