Background: About the National Dual Language Consortium

The National Dual Language Consortium (NDLC) is comprised of member organizations across the United States dedicated to the promotion of bilingualism and biliteracy, grade-level academic achievement, and cross-cultural competence in all students.

Individually and collectively, NDLC member organizations conduct research, provided training and services for dual language practitioners, and disseminated information about dual language to a wide audience, including educators, parents, policymakers, and the general public.
