In the JA Virtual World Language Fair, a volunteer guest speaker visits the classroom virtually and shares information about his or her career, work, and education experience in their native language. The speaker may use props, work samples, or other visuals to help engage students.

Please see the Home drop-down menu at the top of the screen to access the various World Language Career Speakers!

Following participation in the learning experience, students will be able to:

• Identify skills and interests.

• Recognize career clusters.

• Practice active listening skills.

JA Virtual World Language Fair is part of the JA Work and Career Readiness Pathway and can be placed in grades K–12. The learning experience is available in classroom based, remote synchronous, recorded video, or after-school/out-of-school Implementation. Activities and implementation design vary based on grade level.

JA teachers and volunteers are encouraged, as part of this learning experience, to utilize the resources available in JA Connect™ Learning Pathways, located at connect.ja.org. This self-guided experience includes interactives, JA Digital Career Book, games, and apps for student use.

JA Learning Experiences support national and state standards in reading, mathematics, social studies, and work and career readiness. See below for more information on alignment with national and state standards.
