Why Learn an Additional Language?
The Padlet collection below began as a discussion board prompt in FLT 817 in Spring 2022 and has been growing ever since. The resources collected here are primarily intended to help language educators like you or your colleagues make the case to your program’s many stakeholders that language learning and multilingualism should receive as much support as they can give.
I hope it will be helpful to you, feel free to share, and let us know ([email protected]) if you want to recommend other posts for this board. Thanks for all your advocacy, past and potential!

This list includes data on language enrollments and teacher shortages, information on policies and legislation, and links to resource collections provided by organizations including JNCL-NCLIS, the Modern Language Association, ACTFL, and the National Association for Colleges and Employers. It is intended to be particularly useful for participants in Language Advocacy Days through JNCL-NCLIS and other advocacy aimed at state and federal policy makers.
