| Title | Conference: Cultures and Languages Across the Curriculum |
| Body | From: http://intl-programs.uiowa.edu/projects/CLAC_info.htm Cultures and Languages Across the Curriculum: Responding to a National Need November 5-6, 2005 Hosted by The University of Iowa, International Programs in collaboration with Binghamton University The Languages Across the Curriculum (LAC) movement of the last two decades has made global competence a reality for many U.S. students. Still, very few U.S. colleges and universities have formal and securely-funded LAC programs. In most cases, LAC faces significant financial and structural challenges to its implementation. These challenges include: the lack of heritage learner communities or sufficient K-12 foreign language preparation; lack of funding to support LAC initiatives; suspicion or opposition, or lack of interest, on the part of faculty within the disciplines, including modern languages; and a lack of information about LAC goals and methodologies. This conference is designed for students, faculty members, international education professionals, and campus administrators interested in exploring the use of language and culture as a tool for internationalizing the curriculum across all disciplines. Teachers from elementary and secondary schools will find useful information that can be adapted to their instructional circumstances.
