The Global Alliance of Language Leaders, or GALL, brings together educators who lead, shape, and advocate for language education in their schools, districts, organizations, and communities.
Developed through the Dual Language and Multilingual Alliance with support from Avant Language, GALL creates opportunities for language leaders to connect across regions, languages, and educational systems. Members can exchange ideas, learn from one another, and work together to strengthen bilingual, multilingual, dual language, and world language programs.
