Global Competence: Where Do World Languages Fit In?



by Michele Anciaux Aoki, Ph.D., World Languages Program Supervisor,
Washington State Office of Superintendent of Public Instruction.
Member of the CCSSO Global Competence Workgroup and member of
Partnership for Global Learning.



Over the past decade, a number of leaders in business, education,
government, and the non-profit sector have come together to articulate
a vision for global education in our country. Much of the impetus for
this new-found focus on internationalizing curriculum and preparing
students P-20 (preschool to graduate school) for today’s
interconnected world has come from funding and advocacy efforts of the
Asia Society and the Longview Foundation, beginning with the first
States Institute on International Education in 2002 and currently
supported by the Partnership for Global Learning, established in 2008.
