2026 Calendar
The beloved calendar is BACK for 2026 with a brand new theme.
In our 2026 calendar, we’re celebrating Cultural Connections Through Music and Dance—a theme that highlights the unique ability of the arts to bring language to life. Music and dance are more than entertainment; they’re vibrant forms of storytelling that carry the heart of a culture. Through rhythm, movement, lyrics, and emotion, they offer learners powerful ways to connect with language in its most authentic form.
