Last week the CASLS team joined over 6000 language teaching and learning professionals for the American Council on the Teaching of Foreign Languages 2014 convention. The annual ACTFL gathering is a great opportunity to connect with colleagues, old and new, as we explore innovations in teaching and learning languages. This year was no exception. Some highlights included:

• An inspiring opening keynote by Annie Griffiths highlighting personal stories of global perspective through photography.
• Many great conversations with teachers from around the country at the CASLS booth in the World Languages Expo.
• Connections with the newly funded group of Title VI Language Resource Centers.
• A working meeting of language partners working around the country to expand language capacities through a collaboration of leaders in immersion, heritage, foreign language, and Flagship programs.
• And...members of the CASLS team on the cover of The Language Educator!

Thanks for a great week and we look forward to continued work throughout the year!
