To commemorate International Education Week 2018, the US Department of Education released new policy guidelines, along with a short video from the Secretary, that puts language learning front and center. You can view the video at https://youtu.be/Ix4iMq8NKuc

In the revised international education strategy, “Succeeding Globally Through International Education and Engagement,” the Department acknowledges that students must “anticipate and adapt” by mastering “broadly transferable and versatile competencies” like “cultural intelligences.”

This version incorporates the global competency framework, developed in the last year of the previous administration, and references the AAAS Commission on Language Learning and the 2017 Global Competencies article in ACTFL’s quarterly research publication, the Foreign Language Annals.
