The World Readiness Standards for Language Learning provide a framework for the curricular integration of collaboration with communities beyond the classroom in order to encourage students, during and after the years of formal language instruction, to participate and engage in multilingual communities at home and around the world.

The ACTFL Global Engagement Initiative will feature outstanding community-engaged learning experiences within the world languages curriculum at all levels of instruction. ACTFL members who have actively engaged their students in using the language beyond the classroom to become globally engaged may seek recognition for their outstanding work. If you feel that your program is worthy of recognition, please take time to submit an application online for consideration.

Applications will be reviewed by a committee selected by the ACTFL Board of Directors. Programs that are selected will be recognized on the Global Engagement section of the ACTFL website, featured in The Language Educator magazine and listed in the ACTFL Convention Program Guide.

The deadline to apply is Friday, May 1, 2015.
