International Mother Language Day was proclaimed by UNESCO's General Conference in November 1999. The International Day has been observed every year
since February 2000 to promote linguistic and cultural diversity and multilingualism.
More information on International Mother Language Day can be found at http://www.un.org/Depts/dhl/language/.
Appropriately, we will be visiting Univision that day. I'm also exploring with Dr. Hult ways our class can be a part of an event in recognition of this day. Stay tuned!

Dr. Wright,
Thank you for keeping us posted regarding upcoming events. I would love to get involved on "International Mother Tongue Day" one way or another.
Mil gracias

Hi, Dr. Wright
That's good to learn this new information!
Hello Dr. Wright! Please let me know if you would like ATE to post any events in WebCT or Webpage to help promote this. I will look through the website and see if there is anything that either our class and our undergraduate students can participate in.
