CAL Activities
November 2005
In November, the Year of Languages focuses on celebrating accomplishments and looking ahead. In reflecting on the achievements of the past year, we invite you to peruse CAL's related activities by monthly focus following the links below. In collaboration with the entire language education community, CAL aims to build on these achievements and continue to focus attention on increasing public awareness of the value of languages in our society.
February: International Engagement
March: Connecting Languages to Other Areas
June: Adult Language Learning & Use
The culmination of 2005: The Year of Languages at the ACTFL Annual Convention this month was a tremendous success. Ken Stewart, Teacher of Spanish at Chapel Hill High School in Chapel Hill, NC was named the first National Language Teacher of the Year. The National Language Teacher of the Year recognizes a foreign language teacher at the K–12 level who exhibits excellence in classroom language teaching. Additionally, ACTFL's Discover Languages initiative was launched. Building on the momentum of 2005: The Year of Languages celebrating the value of language learning, Discover Languages is a sustained campaign designed to heighten public awareness of the critical importance of language education and proficiency in the United States.
