BC's Second Languages Draft Curricula now online!

The Ministry of Education has recently released drafts of BC's Second Languages curricula for Grades 5 - 12 for the following subjects:

• American Sign Language (ASL), 
• German, 
• Italian, 
• Japanese, 
• Korean, 
• Mandarin, 
• Punjabi, 
• Spanish 

All drafts are available for review by visiting https://curriculum.gov.bc.ca/curriculum/10-12#sl. 

Teachers are encouraged to review the drafts and to provide both positive and constructive feedback to the Curriculum Writing Teams by emailing your comments directly to the Ministry. All feedback - both individual and group submissions - can be emailed directly to curriculum@gov.bc.ca. Please be sure to identify your teaching situation (Public/Independent, Elementary/Secondary, etc.) in your feedback.

Please encourage your colleagues to review the draft curricula and to provide feedback to the Ministry. The more feedback that is received, the easier it will be for the Curriculum Writing Teams to represent the views and opinions from across British Columbia. BCATML's Language Representatives are also available to listen to your concerns and offer assistance regarding the curriculum. They can be found under the Contact Us tab.
