One World, Many Voices 

Ozarks Foreign Language Association March 25, 2017

Missouri State University, Springfield, MO

It is with great joy that I invite you to the 2017 OFLA conference, One World, Many Voices, to be held on Saturday, March 25, 2017, on the Missouri State University campus in Springfield. This year’s theme is inspired by global and local events that make it clear that people want to be heard. As teachers of world languages, we are often worried that our voices are not heard when decisions are being made. We feel the tug of how to promote our languages and convince administrators of our value. We want the languages we teach to be considered as important to the education core as math, English or science. We hope this conference will continue to build your teaching skills, but also encourage you and help you to raise your voice to stand up for your discipline. Sincerely, Lynn Schick OFLA President 2017
