At Vista, we’re proud to stand with teachers and students, working shoulder to shoulder to make world language education inspiring, relevant, and equitable for all. This year, our partnerships with ACTFL and regional organizations open new opportunities—while keeping a strong focus on the National Standards for World Language Education (the 5 Cs):
- Communication: Developing real communicative skills in the target language
- Cultures: Deepening intercultural understanding
- Connections: Linking language to other content and real-world application
- Comparisons: Gaining insight through cultural and linguistic comparisons
- Communities: Engaging with diverse communities at home and abroad
