The U.S. Department of Education's (ED) International Strategy lays out its commitment to prepare all U.S. students to succeed globally through international education and engagement. Today, more than ever, our students need to be equipped with the critical thinking, communications, socio-emotional and language skills to work collaboratively with their counterparts in the United States and all over the world. Understanding and appreciating other parts of the world, different religions, cultures, and points of view are essential elements of global and cultural competence.
The Framework
ED's Framework for Developing Global and Cultural Competencies to Advance Equity, Excellence and Economic Competitiveness is the product of a working group with representatives from across ED and discussions with the education community. This work builds on existing research and provides a framework for the development of global and cultural competencies beginning in early childhood through postsecondary education and bases it on a foundation of discipline-specific knowledge. It is designed as a guide to consider how these competencies are developed over time and at various stages of education.

Linguistic diversity is just as important as any other aspect of diversity on our campus, and intersects with other aspects of identity, like race or nationality.

There are multiple, valid Englishes all over the world. English is a national language (either officially or de facto) in over 80 countries, which means "native" speakers of English come from all over the globe. American English is just one of many Englishes.

There are multiple, valid Englishes within the United States. There are many regional and social dialects of English in the United States, including African American English and North Central English, which you can hear in Minnesota. The idea that there is one "Standard" English that is inherently superior and easier to understand than other dialects is a myth. There are many ways to speak and write clearly in English, and the choices we make depend on our social contexts and specific purposes at any given moment.

The U.S. has always been multilingual. There is no federal official language of the United States, but some states have individually declared English their official language. Before this land was colonized, there were hundreds of indigenous languages, over 200 of which are still spoken in the U.S. According to the census bureau, these days over 11% of Minnesota households speak a language other than English.

Students have a right to their own languages and Englishes. See statements by the Conference on College Composition and Communication (CCCC) and the Linguistic Society of America (LSA). Students also have a right to Writing Instruction that is responsive to second language writers.
