KLETT WORLD LANGUAGES

LANGUAGE SPECIALISTS

KLETT WORLD LANGUAGES is a publishing house specializing in print and digital instructional materials for learning and teaching world languages.

Our mission is to help students become global citizens by developing their intercultural and critical thinking skills through language learning. We aim to help students learn and use language in real-life situations by creating engaging and meaningful content that sparks their curiosity and motivates them to learn.

We strongly believe that teachers play a key role in language learning, and part of our mission is to support them and to provide ample opportunity for professional development.

THESE ARE OUR VALUES

Having them is not enough. We live by them.

1 COMMITMENT

Because everyone on the core KWL team has a background in education and works closely with educators and students, our commitment goes far beyond our daily work. We understand the needs of educators and students and we are passionate about looking for solutions and tools to help them succeed.

3 AFFORDABILITY

We are committed to providing high-quality print and digital content at affordable prices to all who want to learn a language. We guarantee lower prices for high-quality content and simple, easy-to-use technology.

5 COMMUNICATION

We view languages as tools for communication and action. To learn a language and build authentic communicative competency, students need a realistic context, a true need to communicate, a focus on meaning, and the right linguistic resources. That is what we provide in our educational materials.

2 INNOVATION

Our educational materials focus on the most current pedagogical methodology. They follow the ACTFL Guidelines for Proficiency, include Can-Do statements, and address the 5 Cs. Our digital resources provide original and authentic content via a simple and easy-to-use platform.

4 EDUCATOR SUPPORT

We see educators as our partners, and the core of our mission is to support them by providing professional development opportunities, highquality documents and activities, and instructor resources in an easily accessible format.

6 GLOBAL PERSPECTIVE

Our content is created to help students use language to communicate and interact with other communities and cultures both in the United States and abroad. Our books present a respectful, modern, and open-minded perspective of our world and its cultures that allows students to dismantle stereotypes and to cultivate an awareness of global concerns.

REPORTERS FRANCOPHONES is an inclusive, innovative, ACTFL standards-based French program that speaks to today’s young learners. It follows a communicative, task-based approach to learning through projects inspired by real-world scenarios. Our program offers authentic, engaging content that awakens students’ curiosity about the French-speaking world.
