SUMMARY:Staying the Course: Strategies for Sustaining Participation in Additional Language Programs
DESCRIPTION:Why does learning another language matter\, and how can we help families\, colleagues\, and decision-makers recognize its value? Drawing on CASLT’s Why Learn Languages? project and the Literature Review on the Impact of Language Learning\, this session explores the cognitive\, academic\, social\, and identity-building benefits of additional language (L+) learning. Designed for language teachers\, school administrators\, and central leaders\, this interactive workshop will use discussion and scenarios to explore practical advocacy strategies for strengthening and sustaining enrollment in language programs. As well\, the workshop leaders will debunk common myths about language learning. Participants will leave equipped with ready-to-use talking points and strategies to communicate the value of language learning whether at open houses\, in casual conversations\, or during family engagement moments. Join this session to discover new ways to build lasting support for L+ programs and help champion the role of multilingualism — opening doors and building connections in a rapidly changing global world.
