National Foreign Language Week (NFLW) is just a few months away (March 5-11,2017)! It’s a great opportunity to celebrate language and to involve the entire school community in your world language classroom and program. NFLW is all about sharing your love for language and expanding students’ horizons in regards to languages, cultures and people. Your celebration can be big or small, focused on languages taught in the school or not, and can involve just the school or the greater community. From daily announcements to all school parties, there are so many ways, big and small, to celebrate.
Not sure where to start? Here’s are some ideas from last year’s #nflw16 Twitter feed to get you started:
- Share why language learning is important through infographics and posters.

- Play games from around the world in the target language.
- Play music in the halls or in your classroom. You can play songs in all different languages or focus on one song in many languages.
- Team up with the Social Studies teacher and invite guest speakers to speak around a shared topic.
- Post a large map in the hallway and have students stick pins or post-its to represent where they and there families come from.
