Let's start with excellent news: important national recognition for our Adolescen Ed programs

On behalf of the wonderful and hard working students, faculty and staff from the department of World Languages and Cultures, allow me to welcome you to this blog/newsletter. From these posts, we will on what it is learning a language, studying abroad. We will tell you how involved and dedicated our students and our clubs are.
But let's start with the best news: our French and Spanish Adolescence Education programs received last year National Recognition status through ACTFL and NCATE (currently being replaced by CAEP). You can read the note included in Fredonia's website and the press note that appeared in a newspaper of the area.
I want to emphasize that the recognition is a big achievement since only few programs in the nation has the status. It places our programs in a selected group. It acknowledges the high quality of the programs and it was possible through the very hard work of the program coordinator, Dr. Kate Douglass. Kudos to Dr. Douglass and to the department!
