Dear Alumni and Friends,
Another school year underway is another year the State Department is proud to support the Teachers of Critical Languages Program.
We continue to support this program because we recognize the importance of building mutual understanding with your countries and the need for Americans to understand your languages and cultures in this increasingly interconnected world. Globalization has underscored the importance of language learning, which needs to begin with children at the primary and secondary level. This is the seventh year of a program that has over 160 alumni, and we are interested in learning what you are doing. What U.S. teaching methodologies are you using in your home countries and how have you changed as a teacher as a result of your exchange? Have you continued to cooperate with your colleagues and students after the exchange? Please send us an email at TCLP@americancouncils.org to tell us your story.
Sincerely,
The TCLP Team
