Standard:
Identify similarities and differences in sentence-level elements (morphology and syntax of common and uncommon structures) and in extended discourse (text structure) of the languages known.

To interact with communicative competence, students use the target language to investigate, explain, and reflect on the nature of language through comparisons of similarities and differences in the target language and the language(s) they know.

Standard:
Sustain opportunities to use culturally authentic, real-world, and academic language on topics ranging from broad general interests to unfamiliar, abstract, and hypothetical areas of specialized professional and academic expertise within target-language communities in the United States and around the world.

Goal:
Students use language in highly predictable daily settings (Novice); transactional and some informal settings (Intermediate); most informal and formal settings (Advanced); informal, formal, and professional settings, and unfamiliar and problem situations (Superior) in their communities and in the globalized world. Students recognize (Novice), participate in (Intermediate), initiate (Advanced), or sustain (Superior) language use opportunities outside the classroom and set goals while reflecting on progress, and use language for enjoyment, enrichment, and advancement.
