Multilingual education helps break barriers and build community. 💪 In honor of #WorldLanguagesWeek, watch our spotlight on I.S. 235, which offers English as a New Language (ENL) and Spanish Transitional Bilingual Education (TBE) programs for grades 6–8. #MultilingualNYC

🌍Language access is essential in our global city.🌏 Delayed on the 1 train🚉 and I interpreted the announcement for a neighbor. #MultilingualNYC. #NYCWorldLang @NYCMultilingual
In celebration of #HispanicHeritageMonth, we are sharing some our favorite Spanish language car cards which appeared on the #NYCsubway over the last five decades. The earliest language inclusive signage in public transit began in the 1960s and became more common by the 80s.
