"A lively, smart & timely
film about the new globalized world."

Hello all,
It's an exciting time for the Speaking in Tongues project
as we begin broadcasting on PBS stations across the country. We've had
dozens of screenings in communities from Mumbai to Little Rock,
Melbourne to Salt Lake City. (If you want to see for yourself, check out
our new Screening Headquarters Map.)
Hundreds
of educators are sharing the film with their classes, and thousands of
people are connecting with the film and its resources via the web. We've
even heard of several dual-language programs opening their doors in the
fall, inspired by the film's stories.
Our new website is up (SpeakingInTonguesFilm.info), packed with resources for parents, educators, and advocates, targeted video, and a blog -- sharing stories, research, and commentary on multilingualism.
We're looking for stories from across the country,
so
if you have an idea, please send it along to our blogger, Abigail Sawyer.
Right
now we're at a critical juncture. As the film broadcasts across the
country, there is a window to increase the film's impact. Find a list of
things you can do on the Get Involved page of our website. Help us make the most of our opportunities.
Look forward to your ideas and feedback as we move forward.
Regards,
Marcia Jarmel & Ken Schneider
