Thank you for considering giving a gift to the Language Institute at the University of Wisconsin-Madison.

Knowing more than one language is rapidly becoming critical in our state, in our country, and, of course, in our world. If you believe that multilingualism enriches understanding of our own and of other cultures, please consider a gift in support of the Institute's work.

For students on the UW-Madison campus, the Institute helps students to realize the wealth of opportunities available through the 80+ languages taught in the 11 prominent language departments in the College of Letters and Science. For students and teachers from Wisconsin K-12 schools, the Language Institue organizes programs such as World Languages Day, World Cinema Day, and the UW-Madison Global Student Amabassadors Program. For business and the community, the Institute develops language courses for specialized audiences, and serves as a valuable resource for providing easier access to language faculty and staff for questions about languages and cultures, for translation and interpreting services, and to promote life-long learning opportunities. For scholarship and research, the Institute adminsters the Doctoral Program in Second Language Acquisition and many grant projects for developing instructional materials and new courses in many languages.

The Language Institute energetically seeks support through grants and gifts from foundations to help to support its mission, but it really could use your support. If you value the ideal of multilingualism and are able to help the Language Institute with its work, please use this site to make your donation.

We look forward to welcoming you at Language Institute events.

Upcoming Events

Brownbag discussion: Innovation in Language Teaching and Learning Brownbag: New Directions?
12:00-1:00pm, Thursday, May 16
1418 Van Hise Hall, 1220 Linden Drive

At our final brownbag conversation this spring, we will reflect on the many discussions that we have had so far this semester: on distance learning and course sharing; business models for distance learning; preparing, mentoring and supporting language teaching assistants and instructors; summer and professional language programs; assessing student learning outcomes in languages; maximizing language and culture learning outside of the classroom; and language learning and study abroad. We will discuss those areas that you would like to further explore or develop, in the context of other discussions currently taking place regarding possible future directions for languages on our campus.
Please come to join the discussion!
A buffet lunch will be provided.
