National Teach Spanish Week! ¡Semana Nacional de la Enseñanza del Español!

SUNDAY, SEPTEMBER 24 – SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 30 2023

National Teach Spanish Week (formerly National Teach Spanish Day) has been extended by popular demand to a week-long event! The program highlights student and faculty teaching and engagement with Spanish language and culture(s) in the US and abroad. The event is held each year in conjunction with Hispanic/Latino/Latinx Heritage Month.

The purpose of National Teach Spanish Week is

1. To promote the teaching of Spanish as a profession.
2. To call attention to the current Spanish teacher shortage (Pre-K-16+) in the US.
3. To emphasize the importance of Spanish as a world language.
