Information Regarding the Bureau of Curriculum and Instruction's Common Core State Standards (CCSS) Implementation Plan for Professional Development
Required Instruction
Section 1007.261(1)(a), Florida Statutes, requires two credits of sequential foreign language instruction at the secondary level as a prerequisite for admission to all Florida state colleges and universities. A student whose native language is not English is exempt of this requirement, provided that the student demonstrates proficiency in his/her native language. Two credits of American Sign Language can satisfy the foreign language requirement.
Regular and Advanced Courses
The Florida Course Code Directory and Instructional Personnel Assignments - 2003-2004 includes 6-12 grade Regular, Advanced Placement (AP) and International Baccalaureate (IB) foreign language course codes. Copies of the Florida Course Code Directory and Instructional Personnel Assignments - 1994-95 and all of its addendums are available from the Office of Curriculum Services.
Academic Competitions
A number of local, regional, state and national foreign language competitions and contests are regularly advertised, and all are open to the general student population.
Foreign Languages in Elementary Schools (FLES)
Many local school districts have established developmentally appropriate foreign language and home language instructional programs in elementary schools.
Foreign Language Experience (FLEX)
Local school districts have established elementary or middle school exploratory foreign language instructional programs in their schools. The aim of FLEX programs is not communicative proficiency, but to motivate the student to future participation in a foreign language program by exposing the student to foreign languages and cultures.
