Heritage Language Speakers Can Earn the Global Competence Certificate and Global Seal of Biliteracy

On Demand Session

How can we motivate students to engage with their heritage language in new and exciting ways? Project-Based Learning leading to the Global Competence Certificate awarded by the World Affairs Council is the approach used in this unique collaboration of Evergreen Public Schools with the World Affairs Council, Ethnic Heritage Council, American Romanian Cultural Society, and Slavic East European Teachers Association of Washington. Students of Romanian, Russian, and Spanish from throughout the state will engage in a year-long, remote-learning program designed to raise the students’ language proficiency and literacy skills and also qualify them for the Global Seal of Biliteracy.
