The amazing Meredith Clark talking rubrics and TEKS. Are your interpersonal prompts aligned to TEKS? Hmmmm. #langchat #TFLA23

Love @mmehay ideas on writing a transcript of your interpersonal speaking and making corrections! 😍#langchat #TFLA23

"Just because we see something happening in a classroom doesn't mean the teacher believes in it" - talking about bad practices, etc. - great reminder not to judge. Sometimes teachers just need skills to be better. #TALS23 #langchat

As the first polyglot Indian immigrant President of @actfl I enjoyed keynoting the 5th International Hindi Conference at the Consulate General of @IndiainNewYork 🇮🇳 They presented two awards to ACTFL & I for our support of less commonly taught languages (LCTLs) #langchat

As the 2023 @actfl President, I stand in solidarity with the teachers & employees who have been wronged by the organization. I urge @kalpenn & @Ms_eagleheart to call out the culture of discrimination & xenophobia. Please know that my complaint w the NY AG is active #langchat

ACTFL condemns WVU's recommendation to cut to all WL courses & majors. This decision will disadvantage WVU grads in today's multilingual job market & could have a negative impact on WV K12 programs. We urge WVU leadership to reverse course & keep WL at WVU.bit.ly/44bcatS
