Meeting Description:

(Symposium of World Congress of Applied Linguistics)

Promoting Less Commonly Taught Languages (LCTLs) in Higher Education through
collaboration and innovation

Both in the United States and Europe, language programs in higher education
are losing students. This decline in enrollments has been especially
noticeable in Less Commonly Taught Languages (LCTL) programs. An individual
institution or action cannot remedy the vulnerable position of LCTLs. Actions
on multiple fronts are needed to counter the falling student numbers and to
create a systemic improvement for all languages. This symposium focuses on two
fronts: inter-institutional collaboration and pedagogic innovation.

The first action focuses on how institutions, programs, and LCTL instructors
can work together rather than compete for students. By collaborating and
thinking across institutional boundaries, innovative solutions for offering a
wide range of languages to all students can be explored. 
The second action focuses on how through innovating or reforming language
programs and courses in LCTLs can become more attractive to students. Creating
advanced proficiency-based courses, Language for Specific Purposes courses,
project-based language learning, online and distance learning, and open
educational resources could be a way to address needs of students that in
“traditional” language programs might be overlooked.

We invite papers that address one or both actions to secure and advance the
future of LCTLs across institutions of higher education.
