This is the home for the Teaching of Foreign Languages at The University of Akron. Communication is the key to our future. Learning to communicate in a foreign language increases opportunities and broadens perspectives. Teaching children how to communicate in a foreign language in a monolingual society is a challenge, but one that can easily be met with an understanding of how children learn a second language and what instructional practices best meet the needs of the situation and student.
