Meeting Description:

Language departments increasingly have to justify the value of language
learning to administrators and the public. In response, ACTFL has adopted the
21st Century Skills Map for language instruction that outlines how students’
language competencies beyond language proficiency give them skills for careers
in a wide variety of professions:

anguagesmap.pdf
However, these competencies are often not mentioned in textbooks.
How have departments and programs addressed these skills in their curricula
and classes?

Keynote speaker: Rebecca Rubin Damari, PhD, Director of Research, University
