New Jersey Hindi — Grade 11
Comprehensive Course Syllabus
Course Overview
Our New Jersey Grade 11 Hindi course is built around the New Jersey Student Learning Standards for World Languages (NJSLS-WL), which emphasise Interpretive, Interpersonal, and Presentational communication alongside cultural understanding, cross-disciplinary connections, comparisons, and participation in communities.
Grade 11 Hindi works at a genuinely advanced level. Students master the full verb system, including participles and compound verbs, and complex sentence construction. They read Hindi literature, poetry, essays, and memoirs critically, study literary devices in Hindi (रूपक, उपमा, प्रतीक and more), and write essays, argumentative pieces, and comparative and synthesis writing.
The course also develops formal and professional Hindi, presentation and public speaking, research and media literacy, and current events, alongside Indian culture, geography, and history studied through Hindi. A dedicated college and career Hindi module and a final capstone with language portfolio complete the year. It suits heritage learners and continuing students alike.

Standards Note
New Jersey uses the New Jersey Student Learning Standards for World Languages (NJSLS-WL), which emphasise Interpretive, Interpersonal, and Presentational communication alongside cultural understanding, connections to other disciplines, comparisons among cultures, and participation in communities.
New Jersey does not prescribe one identical Grade 11 Hindi syllabus for every school. Hindi course placement and proficiency levels may vary by district and school, and districts may determine specific texts, materials, course sequences, and proficiency expectations.
It is important to distinguish between the state standards, which define expected knowledge and skills, and the course structure created for this educational programme, which organises that content into modules and topics.
This syllabus therefore represents a Grade 11 advanced Hindi / World Language pathway aligned with New Jersey’s World Languages framework rather than a mandatory statewide curriculum.
The syllabus is suitable for heritage learners and continuing students preparing for Grade 12 Hindi, college-level World Language study, and professional use of Hindi.
