Here are the Clarifying Objectives by Course Outcomes (COCOs or CO2s) documents used for standards-based curriculum writing in North Carolina, which is done locally by individual, department, school, or district.  These documents have been compiled from the proficiency charts with student outcomes in the North Carolina World Language Standard Course of Study Links to an external site..

Notes:

  • These materials are downloadable as Word documents so that they can easily be used for curriculum writing and shared among colleagues for collaboration.

  • Each document also contains the language-specific course code(s) for the course as a reference.

  • Please use the K-12 Classical World Languages Bridging Document Links to an external site. as a guide to help teachers and administrators create a strong K-12 sequence locally for the program(s) you offer.

Elementary School (ES) Courses

Elementary language courses that build proficiency meet 90 minutes or more per week throughout the year. These are Foreign Language in the Elementary School (FLES) programs.

Elementary courses that do not meet the 90 minutes per week minimum are actually Exploratory Language courses, and they use the course code 12752Z0.

Exit proficiency expectations for FLES program courses are described based on the number of years of study that students have had, and course codes are numbered accordingly:

  • ES Other Classical Language (less than 1 year of study) has course code 12502Z0

Examples: A K-5 program would use this code for the Kindergarten classes, and a grades 3 - 5 program would use it for the 3rd grade classes. 

  • ES Other Classical Language (1 year of study) is 12502Z1

Examples: A K-5 program would use this code for the 1st grade classes, and a grades 3 - 5 program would use it for the 4th grade classes. 

  • ES Other Classical Language (2 years of study) is 12502Z2

Examples: A K-5 program would use this code for the 2nd grade classes, and a grades 3 - 5 program would use it for the 5th grade classes. 

  • ES Other Classical Language (3 years of study) is 12502Z3

Examples: A K-5 program would use this code for the 3rd grade classes. 

  • ES Other Classical Language (4 years of study) is 12502Z4

Examples: A K-5 program would use this code for the 4th grade classes. 

  • ES Other Classical Language (5 years of study) is 12502Z5

Examples: A K-5 program would use this code for the 5th grade classes. 

  • ES Other Classical Language (6 years of study) is 12502Z6

Examples: A K-5 program would use this code for the 6th grade classes.

Middle School (MS) Courses

Middle school language courses that build proficiency meet 90 minutes per week or more for at least one semester, but do not earn high school credit.

Middle school courses that do not meet the 90 minutes per week minimum or are of short duration, such as 6-week or 9-week rotations, are actually Exploratory Language courses, and they use the course code 12752Y0.

Exit proficiency expectations for middle school courses are described based on the number of years of study that students have had, and course codes are numbered accordingly:

  • MS Other Classical Language Beginning (less than 1 year of study) has course code 12502Y0

Examples: A grades 6 - 8 program would use this code for the 6th grade class(es), and a grades 7 - 8 program would use it for the 7th grade class(es). 

  • MS Other Classical Language Beginning (1 year of study) is 12502Y1

Examples: A grades 6 - 8 program would use this code for the year-long 6th grade class(es), and a grades 7 - 8 program that offers one semester per year would use it for the 8th grade class(es). 

  • MS Other Classical Language Continuing (2 years of study) is 12502Y2

Examples: A grades 6-8 program would use this code for the year-long 7th grade class(es). 

  • MS Other Classical Language Continuing (3 years of study) is 12502Y3

Examples: A grades 6-8 program would use this code for the year-long 8th grade class(es).

High School (HS) Courses

High school courses are part of articulated, sequenced, language-focused programs that develop proficiency in the modern language, provide the credits students need to meet and exceed college entrance requirements, and have proficiency level outcomes for each communication mode and culture that are adjusted based on language acquisition research and language type (alphabetic, logographic, visual).

Note:

Middle schools have flexibility to offer high school credit courses over two academic years, so that students take Part A one year and Part B the following year to receive the full credit. The course codes for those options are included in the documents below.

  • Other Classical Language I has course code 12512X0

  • Other Classical Language II is 12522X0

Levels III - VI are inherently advanced courses and assigned honors-level weighting per State Board of Education policy GRAD-009 Links to an external site.. These courses can be traditional language and literature curricula or be designed as courses that are linked to career and technical education, student career interests, etc. such as language for specific purpose courses or languages across the curriculum courses.

  • Other Classical Language III Honors has course code 12535X0

  • Other Classical Language IV Honors is 12545X0
