LANGUAGES CANADA

As Canada’s national body representing language education, Languages Canada is committed to advancing growth and innovation for Canada’s English and French language programs. To achieve our objectives we undertake work in policy, research, professional development, and promotion. Our close collaboration with Brazil’s Languages without Borders program and long standing presence in Brazil aims to support the growth of our two countries and of language as a fundamental aspect of the internationalization of education and the workforce.
