U.S. Department of Education

Remarks by U.S. Secretary of Education Rod Paige Before the States Institute on International Education in the Schools

"International education shouldn't be an add-on. International content can be integrated into the teaching of many subjects. When children read stories, some should be by and about people in other countries. Students in dual language immersion programs often study some of their math, science, and other lessons in that language. They are building skills in both English and another language at the same time that they are learning subject-matter content. Some children in our country are learning these skills, but many more could and should do it."

Read American Council on the Teaching of Foreign Languages president Martha Abbott's interview with U.S. Secretary of Education Rod Paige (pdf format).
