Office of Bilingual Teaching and Learning

Gallaudet is a bilingual University; the University's mission is to promote fluency and competence in both languages across the disciplines. The purpose of Gallaudet's Office of Bilingual Teaching and Learning (OBTL) is to:

coordinate activities in support of the University's bilingual mission
provide strategic planning
aid in faculty development
create and provide resources to make this all possible

The Office will also guide the process for the creation of a more comprehensive Center for Bilingual Teaching and Learning. Bilingual education and communication manifests throughout the University. A diagram of the various dimensions of bilingualism at Gallaudet is shown below.
