Episode 29 (Season 4: Episode 5): The National Federation of Modern Language Teachers Associations with Dr. Sheri Spaine Long

In this episode of the World Languages Collaborative Podcast, Professor Grant Gearhart welcomes Dr. Sheri Spaine Long, a true leader and innovator in the field of language education. Over the course of her distinguished career, Dr. Spaine Long has worn just about every hat imaginable, including teacher, scholar, author, editor, administrator, and advocate.

Now serving as Director Emerita of the American Association of Teachers of Spanish and Portuguese (AATSP), she joins us to shine a light on a lesser-known but highly influential organization: the National Federation of Modern Language Teachers Associations (NFMLTA).

Together, we discuss how this vital resource supports research, collaboration, and professional growth across the world language community.
