A Texas Framework for Languages Other Than English
This document is designed to facilitate the development of standards-based
materials that match the characteristics
of local districts and campuses. Based on eight
research-based Guiding
Principles and produced in consultation with
classroom teachers, district supervisors,
higher education professionals, and representatives
from business and the community, the framework is tailored specifically
to the needs of Texas teachers and students. It supports extended
sequences of language learning from Pre-Kindergarten through
Grade 12
and includes Learning Snapshots to illustrate how each of
the five TEKS for LOTE Program
Goals is
addressed in LOTE curriculum. It also provides concrete examples
of how
students demonstrate proficiency at the novice, intermediate, and
advanced levels. PDF versions of the document may be downloaded
in two parts below, or you may order original prints from the Texas
