When Bob Dylan wrote, “The times they are a-changing” in 1964 there were 51.7 million people in the United States enrolled in all forms of educational institutions such as K12 schools, colleges, universities and trade schools.
The American Community Survey showed that by 2006 there were 53 million children ages 5-17 years enrolled in K12 schools alone! Of that 53 million, 11 million children spoke a language other than English at home, while another 3 million spoke English less than “very well.”
Obviously, Bob Dylan was on the right track when he sang that times are a-changing, but who would have thought our population would evolve so dramatically that by 2006, 20 percent of our K12 students would speak a mother tongue other than English?
To reach this next generation, it is our responsibility to ensure the every English Language Learning (ELL) student and parent has language access through language translation services and interpretation. To this end, we are very excited to introduce our new online education translation services, K12Translate. Like you, we know that providing clear and accurate language translations services to non-native English speakers is an essential tool in high-quality education
We sincerely look forward to providing our online education translation services to you and your community.
Keep Learning!
