Spanish Language Arts Framework (Marco ALE)

The purpose of WIDA’s Spanish language arts framework, Marco de referencia de las artes del lenguaje del español (Marco ALE), is to provide the key elements for the development of standards and the teaching of Spanish language arts. Therefore, the Marco ALE is presented in two documents:

  • Standards design and enhancement: Aplicación para la actualización y desarrollo de estándares
  • Teaching and learning: Aplicación para la enseñanza

These documents provide guidelines for the implementation of Marco ALE, while highlighting the linguistic and academic opportunities for bi/multilingual students learning Spanish.
