Posted on by

We often write about one of the primary benefits of language learning being improved career prospects. That’s definitely true, but what exactly does that look like in the day-to-day lives of people in an organization? Tsedal B. Neeley published an article in the journal Organization Science titled “Language Matters: Status Loss and Achieved Status Distinctions in Global Organizations”. In it, Professor Neeley describes the inner politics of a French high-tech company that adopts English as its official language, or lingua franca. Just as in the wider world, status within an organization can be gained and lost based on a variety…

Posted on by

Most professionals dream of one day becoming a CEO or running their own business.

The Finding Funding Checklist for Language Learning

Posted on by

Although we’ve seen a few years of economic growth and rising property values, education funding from state and federal sources continues to lag behind. Part of this is because of expired stimulus funding, while another part is an unwillingness to increase spending. Education is always one of the first expenditures cut during budget negotiations at both the federal and state levels. We cover the updated state of education spending in our new infographic, Funding Sources for Language Learning. Although Title I and Title III federal funding is earmarked for English learner programs, world language studies have no such dedicated funding…

Public Funding Sources for Language-Learning

Posted on by

Our latest infographic, Funding Sources for Language Learning, goes through the updated state of governmental education funding in the United States. One of the lowlights: Congress has cut education funding by 20% in the past five years. That being said, even though the pool may be a little shallower, there’s still quite a bit of money available to help your school bring its language-learning program into the 21st century. But what exactly are these sources and how can they be utilized to provide greater language-learning capabilities in your school or district? Federal sources As you may have heard, the country…
