"With the help of a three-year grant from the US Department of Education and the National Endowment for the Humanities, an eleven-member task force, representing a variety of languages, levels of instruction, program models, and geographic regions, undertook the task of defining content standards - what students should know and be able to do - in foreign language education. The final document, Standards for Foreign Language Learning: Preparing for the 21st Century, first published in 1996, represents an unprecedented consensus among educators, business leaders, government, and the community on the definition and role of foreign language instruction in American education. This visionary document has been used by teachers, administrators, and curriculum developers at both state and local levels to begin to improve foreign language education in our nation's schools. The 3rd Edition Standards for Foreign Language Learning in the 21st Century, revised including Arabic standards, is now available."

"The Globally Competent Student Sandra L. Russo and Leigh Ann Osborne What characteristics would a globally competent student possess? What does this student know upon graduation day that a student wi thout this sort of education does not? For some students, all or most of these characteristics are ones that s/he will find ways to develop even if the resources are lacking. For others, they must be convinced of the need to develop global competence. It is the charge of the administrators who decide, th e faculty who teach, the legislators who fund, and the potential employers [private se ctor leaders] who motivate, to leave no doubts in the student's mind about the importance of becoming a globa lly competent student. Our objective, as NASULGC institutions, is to de velop globally competent undergr aduate and graduate students who will become globally competent citizens. "
