21st Century Skills Map for World Languages: Technologies in Support of 21st Century Language Learning

Union College, Schenectady, NY — October 13-14, 2011

(Presentation events on Friday, October 14, 2011)

 

 

"Physical distances are no longer barriers to learning and sharing information about different cultures, languages, and traditions. Internet technologies have bridged the geographic distance that separate global communities, raising the importance of developing the skills needed for communicating and collaborating with people from different countries. Students, therefore, need opportunities to take advantage of the communications and collaboration tools available in today's wired classrooms to engage in projects and dialogue with their international peers. Just as students can deepen their knowledge when teamed with their peers in the classroom, students can both broaden their perspective and enrich their understanding of the world through relationships with their international counterparts. Making this connection will be vital to navigating the global marketplace." Partnership for 21st Century Skills (P21) http://bit.ly/globalp21.

The Partnership for 21st Century Skills (P21) and the American Council on the Teaching of Foreign Languages (ACTFL) have come together to identify a set of twelve skills that are essential for American students' participation in the global community through areas of foreign language skills and cultural awareness.
