The Consortium of Illinois Language Schools in Naperville, IL is a federally-funded program that aims to increase the number of US citizens learning and teaching less commonly taught languages, contributing to language workforce development for the Federal Government. Established in 2006, the program provides funding and support for K-16 language education and teacher development programs in languages such as Arabic, Chinese, Korean, Persian, and Russian.
The program recruits students from Grade 4 to Grade 8 from two school districts, offering pre-camp and post-camp outreach activities, as well as a face-to-face summer camp experience. Led by President Ling-Ling Hu, the Consortium of Illinois Language Schools is dedicated to inspiring students and fostering language careers in critical-need languages, aligning with national security and defense priorities.
