Learning standards for Languages Other Than English

In 1986, the New York State Education Department had adopted Modern Languages for Communication.  This document was redefined as the NYS Learning Standards for Languages Other Than English (LOTE) as part of the NYS Compact for Learning initiative in 1996. These 1996 standards will remain in effect until such time as a district implements the revised NYS Learning Standards for World Languages (2021).
