Director Dual Language Studies, American Councils Research Center

Gregg is the Director of Dual Language Studies for American Councils of International Education in Washington DC. He retired from the World Language & Dual Language Immersion Specialist for the Utah State Board of Education. His work with the Utah Legislature and Governor’s office led to groundbreaking changes in the way world languages are viewed and funded within the state’s K-12 schools. The K-12 program he designed with his team is being used as a model of innovative world-language education nationally and internationally. In the process, he directed the development of K-12 immersion curricula, the establishment of proficiency targets for all grade levels and DLI languages (Chinese, French, German, Portuguese, Russian and Spanish), a comprehensive assessment program comprised of internal and external assessments, and a job-embedded professional development program and support system in those languages. Gregg has taught at both the secondary and university levels.
