The 50th Anniversary Conference

About the Conference

Dear AFLTA Colleagues,

The October 2024 Annual Conference was a big success! Not only did we celebrate 50 years of the organization’s leadership in second language education in Arkansas, but we also focused on new opportunities to build programs throughout the state, focusing on the development of dual language programs. Our keynote presenter, Brandon Locke., who has a variety of experiences in developing and maintaining dual language / immersion programs (DUI) provided rationales for such programs as well as practical strategies for their development in schools and school districts.

Watch for information here about AFLTA approaches to developing quality DUI programs in Arkansas schools.

Spanish Roadmap

A project initiated by UA, Fayetteville designed to address profound growth of Spanish-speaking populations in our community, state and nation through pioneering research and public programming.

“This project has the potential to make Arkansas a model in Spanish language teaching through a research program that will harness widely dispersed data in hopes of shaping policy and symposia with public school teachers, university faculty and community leaders.”

Here’s a link to the website for more information and details.
