World Languages Fair (WLF)
The Open Language Resource Center will hold the next World Languages Fair (WLF) on the KU campus in Spring 2024. This free event will provide an opportunity for middle- and high-school students to attend mini-lessons in a range of languages, presentations on target cultures, and discussions of how intercultural competence can enhance different fields of study. There will also be an Information Fair over the lunch hour to provide an opportunity to speak with representatives of local colleges and universities about their language programs, scholarships and study abroad opportunities. All registered attendees will receive a free lunch and the opportunity to win prizes.
The event is a collaboration with KU's Area Studies Centers and KU International Affairs, and in partnership with the Foreign Language Association of Missouri and the Kansas World Language Association, Proposals to present are welcome from any post-secondary institution. Past presenters have included faculty from Benedictine College, Johnson County Community College, Fort Hays State University, Kansas State University, Missouri State University, Pittsburg State University, the University of Kansas, and Wichita State University.
More information on the 2024 World Languages Fair will be made available as it becomes available.
