| Title | Indiana Schools Adopt East Asian Language Standards |
| Body | From http://www.doe.state.in.us/reed/newsr/2007/06-June/worldlanguages.html Action taken by the State Board of Education this week made Indiana the first state to adopt grade-level standards specific to Chinese, Japanese and Korean languages for all grades kindergarten through twelve. The Department’s World Language Standards Revision Task Force developed a separate, yet related, set of standards specifically geared towards East Asian languages to take into account the inherent uniqueness of these languages. The languages are some of the most complex of all modern spoken languages both in structure and pronunciation, and they require more time for students to acquire than other commonly taught languages. More information about the standards is available at http://www.doe.state.in.us/reed/newsr/2007/06-June/worldlanguages.html . The standards can be downloaded and viewed at http://www.doe.state.in.us/standards/standards2000_lang.html . |
