These standards, which were first published in 1996 in the document titled Standards for Foreign Language Learning in the 21st Century, have been adopted by the South Carolina Department of Education as the academic standards for modern and classical languages in the state’s public schools. The material in the South Carolina Academic Standards for Modern and Classical Languages is therefore conceived and organized according to these national standards and their five goal areas: Communication, Cultures, Connections, Comparisons, and Communities.Records, documents, and information made available by the agencies of the South Carolina state government or its subdivisions are made accessible through the South Carolina State Library Depository and are protected under U.S. Copyright law (Title 17, U.S.C.) and South Carolina state law (Title 30 and 60, S.C.C.L.).
