World Languages

In a globalized world, those who can communicate effectively in more than one language and across cultures, have a great advantage. Such language proficiency is critical for business, trade, diplomacy, and can help to promote mutual understanding and respect.

For students, learning more than one language can enrich their academic and life experiences and open doors to opportunities.

That is why CAL is committed to supporting language learning and cultural understanding within the United States and around the world.

Currently, CAL staff conduct research and develop practical solutions to support successful language programs for learners at all levels of instruction (early childhood, elementary, secondary, higher education, and adult education).
