We often interpret this goal area as one where students learn about other countries through social and cultural history in the form of study abroad, but instructors can also introduce students to a new language by looking into their local communities and personal backgrounds. In our “Communities” station, the tree represents Barnard’s own language education history. By learning about our own community, we can see how far we come and navigate we are going with the future of language instruction.
