About the World Language Center

EdGate welcome you to the World Language Center!   We hope this site becomes an often-used tool to help you as you help students become proficient in world languages. We have evaluated hundreds of resources to find the ones most useful for you and will continue to verify and update the information in the World Language Center.

A few suggestions for using the WLC:

After you’ve checked out a section or subsection, like French, or the Standards Connection,
bookmark the page so it is easily available to you; 

The site utilizes frames for all external links. You can close the frame you’re looking at and the previous page will be right there, instead of having to use the back button all the time; 

      So that we continue to improve the look and information found on the WLC, let us know if you have   
      trouble displaying pages, want to include a link we do not have or any other feedback. 

The World Language Center is a content channel hosted and managed by EdGate.

EdGate was founded by a group of educators frustrated with the lack of integration between the Internet,
on-line tools and state standards. Over the past three years, this company has evolved from an idea to a national provider of aggregated content, web-based communication and standards-based learning.
The EdGate tool set consists of:

  • Education Gateways - the portal entrance to content and tools;

  • Curriculum Matrix - standards-based database which provides lessons, assessments and resources and lessons linked to relevant state standards;

  • SchoolNotes - a popular personal Web publishing tool used by over 150,000 teachers to post homework notes and communicate class information to parents.
