The National Humanities Center does not discriminate on the basis of race, color, sex, religion, national or ethnic origin, handicap, sexual orientation, or age. Many immigrants and new citizens do not speak English as their primary language. By learning a foreign language, educators can reach out to these new Americans. Teacher refresher classes for foreign language instructors are one of the options available.
Study abroad can help fulfill the continuing education credits needed to maintain teaching licenses.
Many programs also offer cultural education, volunteer opportunities in schools or teaching English as a Second Language and meeting local professionals. Housing options include homestay with a citizen of the country of interest, a room or apartment on or near the school campus or private hotel. Each 250-page volume of the Southwest Journal of Linguistics is published in two numbers, one in June and one in December. The journal publishes papers across a broad range of topics in linguistics, although research papers dealing with the languages of the southwestern United States and northern Mexico are expecially encouraged. The journal also publishes scholarly reviews of the literature, book reviews, and occasional commentary on topics of concern to the journal's readership.
