So honored to share our work from St. Paul Public Schools in MN around the development of our #heritagelang programs in Karen and Somali. It takes a village, and we are so grateful for our community partnerships that have made this work happen. Thank you #NADSFL24 for the opportunity! #ACTFL24
Thank you, Lea! Appreciate you highlighting this work!
Today's the day! Come see our #ACTFL24 session at 4:30pm to hear more about how to identify elements of intercultural communication, evaluate it, and have students self-assess. Hope to see you there! #langchat #heritagelang #earlylang
