Concept of Competency-based Education in World Languages

 * 1) ===Everyone can learn a language, but everyone learns at a different pace, in different ways and for different purposes.===
 * 2) ===Learning occurs when what is learned has meaning to the learner.===
 * 3) ===Goal setting & self-assessment increase motivation and improve achievement.===
 * 4) ===Standards, targeted proficiencies, benchmarks, indicators and learner targets are meant to guide learning & should be shared with learners.===
 * 5) ===Functional use of the language in appropriate contexts (culture, connections to other disciplines and comparisons) is the prime objective.===
 * 6) ===A teacher’s role is to guide learning, provide language learning opportunities & resources and enable learners to set goals and know if they’ve met them.===
 * 7) ===Assessment for learning and of language learning is designed so that the learner can show s/he demonstrates the benchmark/ learner targets.===
 * 8) ===Credit is based on performance and awarded when the targeted proficiencies, benchmarks, indicators and learner targets are met.===
