Elementary Schools

一些小学可能在白天提供丰富的世界语言学习机会，也提供课前或课后各种世界语言的丰富课程. 这些经历的目标是培养在以后的教育中继续学习语言的兴趣和愿望.

Seattle currently offers Dual Language in five (5) International Elementary Schools:

Beacon Hill International School: Mandarin Chinese and Spanish
Concord International School: Spanish
Dearborn Park International School: Mandarin Chinese and Spanish

Middle Schools

Most middle schools and some K-8 schools offer World Language. 一些学校提供六年级的探索班，让学生有机会花时间学习不同的语言. Most middle schools offer one year of world language (for high school credit). Some schools offer two years of language (for high school credit), i.e. Spanish 1 in 7th grade and Spanish 2 in 8th grade. Denny, Hamilton, 美世国际中学还为参加小学双语课程的学生或西班牙语多语言学习者提供语言艺术和社会研究的双语课程, Japanese, or Mandarin Chinese.

High Schools

All high schools offer a World Language. Most high schools offer an option of different languages to study. 华盛顿特区和华盛顿州对学生在高中学习世界语言的目标是毕业前至少修满两个学分. Many students continue on to complete three or more years. Colleges highly recommend a minimum of three world language credits. 西思国际高中还为参加中学双语课程或学习多种语言的学生提供语言艺术和社会研究方面的双语课程. These courses are offered in the target languages of Spanish at Chief Sealth.

Heritage Spanish courses, 也被称为西班牙语使用者的西班牙语，在以下初中和高中提供:简亚当斯中学和内森黑尔高中. 我们目前正计划在其他初中和高中以其他语言增加这些课程.

World Language Standards and Learning Targets

西雅图学校将课程与华盛顿州世界语言K-12学习标准(2015年)保持一致, 这些标准与国家语言学习世界准备标准相一致，可在 ACTFL World-Readiness Standards for Language Learning page.

World Language Course Outcomes 是由西雅图的世界语言教师团队和一位国家顾问共同开发的, Donna Clementi, in 2010. 这些标准于2015年8月更新，以匹配修订后的《十大正规网赌软件》和华盛顿修订后的《十大正规网赌软件》.

2010年，世界语言教师根据《十大正规网赌软件》制定了高中世界语言课堂教学目标 ACTFL Proficiency Guidelines:

Levels

Level 1 World Language Course Novice Low to Novice Mid
Level 2 World Language Course Novice Mid to Novice High
Level 3 World Language Course Novice High to Intermediate Low
Level 4 World Language Course Intermediate Low to Intermediate Mid
Level 5 World Language Course Intermediate Mid to Pre-Advanced

这些熟练程度目标可以作为指导，帮助学校正确安置经过几年K-8语言学习的初高中学生. For example, 一个在西班牙语(世界语言2级课程的目标)上表现出整体初级水平的学生可能在高中的3级课程中表现出色.

The teachers also developed Example Units 在美国手语、中文(普通话)、法语、日语、拉丁语和西班牙语中与这些级别保持一致.

World Language Credit Testing

In spring 2011, 十大正规网赌软件采用了该州的模范政策和程序来评估语言能力和授予 competency-based credits for World Languages. Students who can speak, read, 通过完成国家批准的语言能力评估，可以获得1-4个高中世界语言学分. 这些学分可以帮助他们达到高中毕业要求和四年制大学世界(外语)入学要求.

Seal of Biliteracy

符合所有州和地区毕业要求的高中毕业生可以通过达到高水平的口语熟练程度来获得双语印章, reading, and writing in one or more world languages in addition to English.

Alternative and Online Learning

出于各种原因，学生和家庭可能正在寻找学习世界语言的替代途径, including lack of space in current world language courses at the student’s high school, interest in studying a language not offered at the high school, need for flexibility in the student’s school schedule, and others. 国家公共教育监督办公室提供了一个在线学习指南，通过新的 Alternative Learning Department.

Currently, 十大正规网赌软件不为个别学生提供支持，以完成通过OSPI在线学习课程目录提供的课程. Families who would like to can register and pay for these courses on their own. If the students are seeking high school credit for such a course, they need to complete the Equivalency Course of Study Proposal form and obtain approval prior to registering for or beginning the course. 等效课程学习建议表可向学校辅导员索取，并可在网上使用, Summer Running Start Courses, and college courses outside of school. 我们要求学校管理人员(通常是校长)根据他们对学生的了解以及特殊要求与学校课程之间的联系提供这种批准.

Note 通过等效课程学习计划批准的任何课程都应在成绩单上显示为学区外(OOD)学分，并附有通用课程名称, such as “World Language.“高中成绩单不会显示是哪种语言或完成了哪个级别. 作为一种选择，参加地区课程的学生可能更喜欢完成以能力为基础的课程 World Language Credit Testing in our district, 因为这些学分是按语言和水平作为课程名称记入高中成绩单的, and are more informative to colleges (or employers) looking at the student transcript. World Language Credit testing can also qualify a student for the Seal of Biliteracy – something that OOD or seat-time courses cannot do. 计划通过世界语言学分测试获得学分的学生不需要事先寻求任何校外学习经历的批准，这些学习经历可以帮助他们提高语言技能，并证明他们的熟练程度有资格获得学分.
