Language in Motion
Language in Motion (LiM) is an educational collaboration that connects Middlebury’s international, study abroad, and upper level language students with Addison County elementary, middle, and high school teachers, students, and classrooms.
Fall applications are now open!
Have you studied abroad? Are you currently an international student? Have you lived or worked or studied outside of the U.S. before or while at Middlebury? Do you want to share your intercultural experience and perspective with high school, middle school, and elementary school students in Vermont?
Apply to join Language (& Culture!) in Motion today! Applications accepted through September 21 or until we have reached capacity.
Note: you do not have to be a language student to participate.
With support and training, Middlebury College students prepare and deliver lessons that promote global awareness, intercultural competence, and world language acquisition.
How It Works
LiM presentations are designed to support the host teacher’s learning objectives. School-age children gain new exposure to diverse culture, language, and experience, and the opportunities that college can offer.

LiM participants deepen their intercultural experience and perspective within a community of other internationally focused students. Middlebury College students gain exposure to the elementary and secondary teaching environment and deepen their international and intercultural experience through personal and shared reflection.

Active at Middlebury since 2014, LiM was founded at Juniata College in 2000 and has since been implemented at thirteen other colleges and universities. The Middlebury College LiM program was made possible at Middlebury through the generous support of the Arthur Vining Davis Foundations as well as the support of our consortium partners.
Driving for LiM
LiM is looking for students to help drive students to and from local K-12 schools to deliver their lessons. You need a college license in order to drive.
