The Global Educator Toolbox gives educators of any age group access to many tools and programs that they can use to encourage their students to learn outside of the classroom or to use within their classrooms to deeper engage their students in learning. Since I am a Spanish major and have a passion for the language, one of the tools within the Global Educator Toolbox that stood out to me was Concordia Language Villages. The website is easy to navigate and accessible. The Concordia Language Village is an immersion program for any age. The program has 15 languages to choose from. The trips range from one week to a month away in a country that speaks the language of choice. Due to my interest being in the Spanish language, I decided to focus in on that portion of the website.

The time of immersion includes culture studies, sports, activities, songs and dances in the language of their choice. The video below will show what students experience at El Lago del Bosque, the village students will stay at if they choose to learn Spanish.

The Concordia Language Villages also provides virtual courses that range from a week straight of learning over the summer to courses that are once a week throughout a semester. This tool could be great for students interested in taking their language skills to a new level. I definitely recommend that language teachers of any age group check out the website and encourage their students to explore it as well!
