World Language is Always a Good Idea:
Strategies for Student Retention from K-12 to Higher EducationPresenter: Dr. Kate Lakin-Schultz
As more students set their sights on STEM careers and majors, the way we promote world language learning needs to evolve. In this webinar, we will explore the changing landscape in higher education and consider the role that world languages can continue to play in students’ educational journeys. How can we show that world language is an asset for any course of study from education to international relations to physics to pre-med? How can language teachers across levels work together to ensure that world languages remain a priority for as many students as possible and for years to come?
