Over the next year and a half, the American Council on the Teaching of Foreign Languages (ACTFL) will connect collaborative teams of world language educators and colleagues from other disciplines from across the United States in a project focused on developing learners’ literacy skills. The development of the Languages and Literacy Collaboration Center (LLCC) will give all educators access to a multitude of resources. Through webinars, mentoring, a virtual resource portal, and online discussions, educators will collaborate around strategies to reinforce and strengthen learners’ literacy skills. Teams of 5-10 educators will collaboratively develop model units and lessons for diverse learners. These model units and lessons may be discipline-specific or interdisciplinary depending on the site team membership and focus.
