Training transferable skills: Using “SPARK” as a stepping stone to career readiness, social engagement, and program relevance
2023
Overview
The reported 9.2% drop in university enrollments in languages other than English (Looney & Lusin, 2019) highlights a perceived divergence between the goals of students and language programs and points to a crisis of relevance that has a detrimental effect not only on language programs and students' career preparedness, but also increases the risk of the United States becoming a nation of \"second-language illiterates.\" This article suggests integrating the Structured Program for the Acquisition of German in the USResources and Know-How (SPARK) for German program by the AATG and the Goethe Institute into the intermediate German classroom to re-emphasize the relevance of language study. This innovative approach provides community- and service-learning opportunities to train students in transferable skills that will make them career-ready and help them develop critical life skills.
