| Q: What is the World Language Festival (WLF)? A: WLF is an opportunity for Indiana high school teachers and students to explore the many language resources Indiana University Bloomington has to offer. Teachers will have the chance to attend training sessions lead by our top language faculty, network with colleagues around the state, or join in some of the student-focused presentations. Students will be blown away by the vast number of languages they can choose to study from at IUB as they explore presentations about African drumming or the Chinese martial art of Tai Chi Chuan. Students will also have the chance to connect one-on-one with IU students participating in language conversation clubs and cultural student associations/groups. Q: How much does WLF cost per participant? A: Absolutely nothing! WLF is free for all participants thanks to the generous support of our sponsors. Q: As a teacher, what should I do to reserve space if I don’t know exactly how many students I will be bringing? A: We ask that you make a reasonable estimate of the number of students and chaperones you think you will be bringing. As soon as you know the number of students you will be bringing, please email wlf@indiana.edu with the updated count. Q: Where will the WLF be taking place? A: All presentations, exhibit booths, and entertainment will be held in Ballantine Hall (campus map). Q: Will lunch be provided for participants? A: No. All participants should plan to bring a sack lunch or money to purchase lunch at our IMU, located directly across the street from Ballantine Hall. There will be an hour-long lunch break. Q: Where should participants be dropped off? A: Participants should be dropped off in front of Woodburn Hall, and will walk a short distance to Ballantine Hall. If any participant is in need of assistance please let us know in advance so proper arrangements may be made. |

| Parking Information: | Top of page | ||
| On the day of the World Language Festival, cars may be parked anywhere on campus except in handicap or reserved spaces (marked with an "R"). Cars and mini buses are welcome to park in the Indiana Memorial Union Pay Lot on 7th Street, however the cost of parking will be your responsibility. For more information on parking please visit http://www.iubus.indiana.edu/parking_operations/visitor_permits.html. Buses may drop-off/pick-up students on campus but MUST be parked at the stadium. Buses are NOT allowed to go on the service drive that goes back behind the IMU. Buses may NOT park anywhere around or behind the Indiana Memorial Union (IMU) building and may NOT be left unattended anywhere except when parked at the stadium. There is very little room to turn-around back there and, more importantly, the road must be kept clear so that emergency vehicles can get through in the event of an emergency. We recommend that your bus drop-off/pick-up your students on 7th Street in front of Woodburn Hall – just across from the IU Art Museum. Ballantine Hall is just behind Woodburn – follow the sidewalk along the service drive between the IMU and Woodburn. We will have volunteers along the path to guide you. Bus drivers can use the IU buses free of charge to return to the center of campus. The “A” Route departs from the stadium every 30 minutes beginning at 10:10 a.m. to 6:10 p.m. on Saturday’s. |
