FOREIGN LANGUAGE SUMMIT

SUMMIT OBJECTIVE:
North Carolina decision makers in business, higher education, K-12 education, and government will gather for a one-day meeting to set a foreign language agenda for the state for the next decade.

SUMMIT RATIONALE:

- North Carolina businesses are hurt by the lack of work force possessing foreign language and cross-cultural skills.
- Universities are challenged to provide opportunities for students to develop a high level of proficiency.
- There is no state mandate for foreign language study at the K-12 level.
- Long, uninterrupted sequences of proficiency-oriented foreign language instruction are unavailable to most K-12 students.
- College freshmen who begin second language study at the novice level of proficiency are not able to meet basic FL survival demands
