World Language Advocacy Month
PSMLA is hosting a World Language Advocacy Month during the entire month of February.
Be sure to visit the posted calendar on our PSMLA website (beginning February 1st) where you will find a plethora of language-specific resources based on the theme each week which includes food, travel, art and cultural connections.
Additionally, there will be webinars each Tuesday and Thursday of the month which focus on teaching world language, advocacy, student and teacher awards, recognition of excellent world language programs and recruitment of world language teachers. Lastly, join our coffee hours each Wednesday to take some time for yourself, to meet other language teachers, to chat in the target language, and to just relax.
