An annual Foreign Language Day has been found to be an excellent means to stimulate interest in foreign languages, self-expression, and creativity. The day-long event emphasizes student participation, with activities revolving around competitions in modern and classical languages: Cultural Exhibits, Interpretative Readings, Language Productions, Audio-Visual Presentations, Essays, International Foods, and International Music and Dance. Since one of the aims is to be informative, panels and workshops are organized. In addition, the day should be a pleasurable experience; entertainment, foreign films, a fiesta with free food samples and free cultural materials, cooking and folk-dance demonstrations, and games in the target language fulfill this objective. A Language Day, with its emphasis on cultural information, spirited activity, and student self-expression, can represent one focus that teachers of foreign languages may wish to utilize.
