How might strategic language requirements and higher education interests
converge?  Should higher education be concerned about the shortages of
multi-lingual speakers?  Who sets the standards and where should the
funding come from?   If our K-12 students do not learn the value of a
second language, can we expect them to embrace language learning later
in life?  Does a national language policy make sense?  Where does
technology fit in language acquisition programs?  What new technologies
can we look forward to?

Produced in cooperation with the Digital Stream Conference & CSU
Monterey Bay. Target Audience: K-12 & higher education, language
teaching faculty, political science faculty, government agencies &
nonprofit organizations.
