Workshop Description: With the Alabama Seal of Biliteracy (SoBL) signed into law recently, our teachers of world languages are eager to learn about the SoBL. How does it validate a student's proficiency in English and one or more other languages? How does proficiency serve (not erase) the humanities? Why does the SoBL increase language study? This day-long teacher workshop for K-12 language teachers statewide will explore these topics across languages through presentations and dialogue between scholars and teachers. 

Sponsored by the Department of Modern Foreign Languages, Birmingham-Southern College, the American Association of Teachers of Spanish and Portuguese, and the Alabama Humanities Alliance
