Championing Language Education Through Professional Development, Scholarships And Awards, Research, And Public Awareness
The Language Connects Foundation’s mission is to elevate the language education profession and promote the transformative power of language learning. We seek to ensure a diverse, well-prepared, and highly effective language educator workforce today and for generations to come. Our work centers on four focus areas to address the critical challenges currently facing the language education profession. First, our professional development program supports educators’ growth by expanding access to mentoring and continuing education. Second, our scholarships and awards recognize the incredible accomplishments of educators and students, especially from traditionally underserved communities. Third, we support and share with the world the results of comprehensive language education research initiatives. Lastly, we educate the public to ensure that those outside the profession understand the importance of language education.
