Our mission is to serve the entire community of African language educators and learners in the United States by sponsoring a wide range of educational and professional activities designed to improve the accessibility and quality of African language instruction in the United States. We encourage a variety of pedagogical approaches to accommodate learner diversity, and advocate the integration of language and culture learning and the acquisition of fluency in these areas. This facilitates dialogue among teachers, learners, and administrators from a wide variety cultural and institutional perspectives, and promotes the profession of African language teaching.
It is a great pleasure to offer you the volumes of our annual newsletter, ULIMI. In this newsletter, we summarize our accomplishments during the year. Great works stem from great minds. Your suggestions and contributions to how we can serve the academic community better are highly welcome.
