A Focus on Language Access, Presented by NFMLTA

Date: May 28th, 2026

Time: 9am PT | 12noon ET | 5pm UTC

Description: It’s no secret that worldwide student access to language study is inconsistent, at best. Join us as teacher-researcher Erin Fell helps us to consider the circumstances and policies that drive access (or the lack of access), beginning with a case study of the U.S. State of Louisiana.

• What does Louisiana demonstrate that is like/unlike your teaching context in another U.S. state or internationally?
• What are the repercussions of lack of access to language study for the individual, society, and the workforce?
• What insights can inform more equitable and sustainable language programs in other contexts?

The presentation and discussion will consider language access through a broad lens, with three expert respondents:

• Rachel Mamiya Hernandez, PhD, is a Language Technology Specialist at the University of Hawai’i at Manoa. She is the President-Elect of the NFMLTA and speaks Portuguese, Spanish, and Hawaiian.
• Amanda Seewald is the Executive Director of JNCL-NCLIS that focuses on language policy and advocacy. She has been teaching children languages, coaching educators, and developing curriculum for over 25
  years.
• John Tessitore is the Executive Director of NFMLTA, supporting language scholars and educators at every level, and connecting research to teaching practice. He is also a writer, editor, and liberal arts advocate.

This webinar is presented by the National Federation of Modern Language Teachers Associations (NFMLTA) and hosted by Avant Language.
