Data-driven, Advocacy-centered
Investigating and improving outcomes for multilingual learners is at the heart of everything we do, one word and one voice at a time.
Our Core Focus Areas
Language Transformation
Our data-driven approach to translation, operationalized through our research and advocacy agendas, allows us to transform our clients into champions for multilingual accessility, dismantling linguistic barriers to communication and driving change for multilingual learners.
Language Accessibility
We hold a fundamental belief that translations should do more than sit on a website— they should expand language accessibility by reaching diverse audiences and create abundant multilingual infrastructure. Our model allows each translation— and the information that comes from them— to build from the last, expanding language access and feeding directly back into our research and advocacy efforts.
Language Education
Multilingual learners have distinct pedagogical and systemic needs across K-12 and higher education systems, and our non-partisan approach to investigating and advocating for them allows us to partner across the aisle and generate cutting-edge insights to improve multilingual education.
Our Research Pillars
Investigating academic outcomes for multilingual learners
From Second-Language Learners (L2s), to Heritage Learners (HLs), and Native Speakers (NS), investigating academic outcomes for multilingual learners is critical to identifying opportunities for high-quality interventions through language education, shining a light on and offering solutions to barriers to their academic achievement.
exploring innovative language education models
An innovative language education system is critical to advancing the linguistic, academic, and economic achievement of multilingual learners. From dual-language schools, to high-quality linguistic apprenticeships and language pathways, we explore, share, and shine a light on the most promising language education models advancing academic achievement and a multilingual-ready workforce.
analyzing the economic impact of multilingualism
A thriving multilingual education system is critical to economic growth. In a rapidly-evolving world, employers demand talent that is multilingual-ready, and our research agenda is designed to analyze and elevate the skills, pathways, and return on investment (ROI) for language education through investigating its impact on the economy.
Our Advocacy Pillars
advancing equitable outcomes for multilingual learners
Every translation, every document, and every insight contributes to our goal of advancing equitable outcomes for the complete continuum of multilingual learners— linguistically, academically, and economically.
promoting holistic second & heritage language education
A holistic language education— including robust language oferrings, career pathways, language apprenticeships, and service-learning opportunities to connect with multilingual communities, is paramount to the academic achievement of multilingual learners.
connecting postsecondary language education & workforce systems
Multilingual learners deserve access to systems that are built for them. By connecting postsecondary language education and workforce systems, we’re able to align multilingual learners with the programs and pathways toward upward economic mobility, and provide employers with the multilingual talent they need.
