Who we are
We are lifelong language learners and educators with both formal training and
practical experience in language teaching and learning. We founded Vistawide
in 2004 to share our knowledge, insights, and expertise from more than 20 years
in language education. Our name reflects our belief that learning other languages
widens one's perspective -- not only on the world, but also on one's own language
and culture, and on oneself. All Vistawide contributors have advanced degrees
in languages or international education, have spent substantial time living in
a foreign country, and have successfully applied their language skills in a broad
array of personal and professional endeavors.
Our mission
The vast potential to be found in the knowledge of other languages and cultures
is frequently underestimated in the English-speaking world. As the fates and actions
of nations become ever more intertwined, so too does the need for effective intercultural
communication and understanding. Our goal is to underscore the importance of language
and cultural education in the 21st century. It is our mission to support, promote,
and facilitate the learning of languages and the development of cultural competence
and to assist those seeking to use languages in their personal and professional
lives.
