Love of Language Series

The Love of Language Series is designed to rekindle an appreciation of the beauty and power of language.  This series allows participants to select individual courses focused on an area of language and/or literature that sparks a personal interest, ranging from writing and grammar (yes, grammar!) to a variety of genres of literature and poetry and significant authors.  Courses in this series will be guided by audio-courses (which average about 7 hours), published by the Recorded Book's Modern Scholar, in a journey that begins by studying and reflecting on language and literature and concludes with independent writing, research or curriculum projects.

The Love of Language Series:
  • Addresses the need for educators to keep the love of language in their personal and professional lives while meeting the realities of standards-based education and accountability.
  • Is designed for educators who rarely have a free moment for themselves, but have a desire to reignite and recapture their passion for spoken and written language.
