My favorite part was the variety [and the] chance to network with other language teachers, and interact with MSU faculty.

MSU is the World!
Michigan State University is known worldwide for its commitment to international education in an era of ever-increasing globalization. With more than 200 study abroad programs and approximately 50 languages offered on campus, MSU is one of the leading universities in the country for internationalizing the student experience.
On Saturday, April 12, 2008, MSU again invited hundreds of high school students, teachers, administrators, and parents to campus to explore a world of languages during the Fourth Annual World Languages Day. Free to all participants, this day-long conference focused on the experiences that languages offer, and highlighted the opportunities available for language and international study at MSU.
After an engaging opening plenary session, participants attended a variety of fun and informational sessions throughout the day. See Activities and Schedule for further details about the day.

Free WLD Guidebook Available
The Center for Language Education and Research (CLEAR), along with co-authors from the University of Wisconsin-Madison and the University of Minnesota, has recently published a free guidebook entitled "Celebrating the World's Languages: A Guide to Creating a World Languages Day Event." This free downloadable PDF walks readers through the steps of creating an event similar to the ones held at these three universities. It is intended for institutions interested in beginning their own version of this event in other states. Learn more and download the guide here.
