The long-term goal of L.A.C. is to integrate multiple languages into the teaching of all disciplines in order to enrich their intercultural and international content. The short-term goal is to enlist the support of faculty and administrators to expand opportunities for the content-specific acquisition and discipline-focused use of language and cultural knowledge by students regardless of their chosen areas of expertise and inquiry. Cross-cultural and multilingual inquiry leads to a more complete learning experience and provides a basis for comparative understanding unavailable when students and faculty are limited to the use of resources in only one language. Learners develop a deeper and more precise understanding of a new language and culture by studying how that language and culture address precisely defined topics about which they have already established a certain familiarity in their native language.  Goals  Means  Rationale  Dimensions and Domains  Endorsements
