Georgetown's Language LEAP (Learning, Equity, Access, and Pedagogy) Initiative is a comprehensive 18-24 month program to support teaching across various language programs. Its strategic approach aims to transcend departmental boundaries and create a holistic, inclusive learning environment. The initiative focuses on enhancing student belonging, inclusion, and equity within language classrooms and enhancing a sense of belonging among those who teach languages on our campus. Our LEAP looks at what students value most about studying a language at Georgetown and what enhances their sense of belonging in their language classes.
We will discuss our motivation to look at student belonging in foreign language classes at Georgetown and present the outcomes of
a survey of students taking foreign language classes across all languages
focus groups of students taking foreign language classes across all languages
and student’s voices on belonging in the foreign language classroom as expressed in a digital story assignment in Turkish, Spanish, and German courses.
