Mission/Vision - The Fellowship of Language Educators of New Jersey

We believe that …

Language educators bear the professional responsibility to advocate on behalf of world language education
Language is the universal connector that facilitates cultural understanding; all languages are valuable to teach and learn.
A multi-lingual society fosters diversity, respect for others, and greater opportunities for all children.
Language learning is an integral part of the American education system; it is for ALL children, it starts early, and is a life-long endeavor.
All students can achieve language proficiency when taught by a skilled teacher in a well articulated, standards-embedded program.
Collecting and analyzing evidence of student performance facilitates effective and reflective teaching.
High quality professional development is critical to equip educators with the necessary knowledge and skills to enhance student language learning.
