which are the Biography, the Dossier
and the Passport. In the future, the
Passport will be renamed the Global
Profile because of the new international
education laws that went into effect on
January 3, 2013.

classroom is one way to demonstrate

of male and female students in the
language acquisition process.
Just a rumor!




align their instruction with the NCSCS,
make language learning relevant to their students,

Reality!

9. By 2017, every language learner in our
state’s public schools will have their own
LinguaFolio® which can continue to be used in
postsecondary education and the world of
work as evidence of a graduate who is
multilingual and a knowledgeable global
citizen.
Just a rumor!
