Multilingual Mainers promotes the study of world languages and cultures and multilingualism. Our direct service is a learning partnership between Bowdoin College undergraduates and teachers, students and community members in Maine. Through professional development conversations, ongoing classroom visits, lunchtime reading programs, and language mentorship, the program ignites a passion and enthusiasm for a lifetime of language learning. The curriculum promotes critical-thinking skills and provides age-appropriate tools to combat xenophobia, racism and intolerance.
This program was established by Associate Professor of Romance Languages Margaret Boyle in fall 2017.
