What is Language Advocacy?

In an educational environment where language programs often face the threat of budget cuts and diminished resources, language advocacy emerges as a critical force for change. Language advocacy is the concerted effort to champion language-related issues and raise awareness of their profound benefits within this challenging landscape. It serves as a catalyst for preserving and prioritizing language learning initiatives, ensuring that they receive the attention and resources they urgently require.
