About Us

L

anguage Magazine is a monthly publication that provides cutting-edge information for language learners, educators, and professionals around the world.

For over 18 years, Language Magazine has covered language related news while providing resources for teachers, students, and administrators. As world language education and English-language learner methodologies collide, Language Magazine explores these intersections, focusing on dual language and bilingual education programs and the state of literacy in the U.S. and abroad.

Through promoting multicultural learning, global citizenship, and language education, Language Magazine provides well-researched insight on the literacy and language sphere of education. We also publish each month’s full issue in an app for tablets along with a digital edition that can be viewed or downloaded for subscribers.

Our website languagemagazine.com features excerpts from the monthly magazine, along with up-to-date news on languages from around the world.
