Abstract
While foreign language educators in many university programs have worked to modify courses to reflect the emerging research on the best practices for enabling language acquisition by student learners, the overall curriculum design of language majors remains very similar to structures in place more than two decades ago. This article describes a series of initiatives that have led to a major redesign of a French curriculum at a state university that uses as its organizing principle the two recently developed professional Standards documents: the Standards for Foreign Language Learning in the 21st Century (National Standards in Foreign Language Education Project, 1999) and the ACTFL Program Standards for the Preparation of Foreign Language Teachers (2002).
