KEYNOTE ADDRESS
Language Educators - The Global Liaisons We Need How do we take up the mantle of global citizenship liaisons for our schools? What can we do to demonstrate the value of a global education through the perspective of multilingualism? How do we build an integral curriculum that makes administrators and families see language learning as a centerpiece of educational experience? Amanda will give us ideas on how to make administrators and the community take world language learning seriously and give it the importance it deserves. |
