This article has been peer reviewed!
Language in Motion, a community-engaged learning programme founded at Juniata College, provides a model for institutions of higher education (HEIs) to create partnerships with elementary and secondary schools in order to enhance language and culture learning for all participants. These partnerships develop and nurture the knowledge, skills and attitudes necessary for life, citizenship and employment in an increasingly interconnected world and reinforce teacher efforts to nurture these characteristics in their pupils. The Language in Motion national consortium in the United States can serve as a cost-effective, scalable model for HEIs in other national contexts.
