The Center for Transnational and Multilingual Education (CTME)
Our purpose is to help all students becoming multicultural, multilingual language learners who embrace global languages.
Transnationalism helps reframe how we talk about immigration in ways that highlight abilities to engage cultures spanning borders.
Transnationals stay in touch with family members in sending countries, know how to live in more than one country, and speak multiple languages.
More than one out of every ten people in Georgia speak a language in addition to English!
Understanding transnationalism supports one of the U.S.’s greatest strengths–the country’s rich diversity!
Georgia, like other U.S. states, has rapid-fire expansion of dual language programs. We help support them here at the CTME!
We are a collective of educators interested in supporting transnationalism and multilingualism!
Who We Are
We build and research approaches for making schools that are accessible, inviting and easily navigated by everyone.

We develop, apply and research ideas that foster understandings spanning borders while increasing multilingualism.
- We offer publications and research projects covering issues related to transnational and multilingual education.
- Find out how to become a dual language teacher in Georgia and learn about general Project ESCUELA grant activities.
Dual language bilingual education programs are programs where students learn content in a language other than English as well as another language.
