The America’s Languages Initiative: An Alternative Approach to a National Language Strategy
Event Live On: December 3 At 8:00 Am PT, 11:00 AM ET
US language enrollments have remained consistently low for the last half century due largely to the failure to make language education truly accessible & effective for today’s learners. Now, the economic consequences of COVID threaten program reductions across the humanities & particularly language. Preventing a serious decline in language education, requires more than ever systemic increase in broader access & evidence-based effectiveness. The America’s Languages Initiative & its “Guide to Exemplary Programs & Practices in U.S. Language Education” envisions & implements a national strategy that reenergizes language education through a grass roots effort based on evidence of what actually works in programs around the country.
