National Council for Languages and International Studies
The National Council for Languages and International Studies (NCLIS) is an organization formed by 12 national language associations in the late 1970s to engage in public advocacy on behalf of international education.  NCLIS now represents 60 national and regional organizations from all areas of the language field, including the major and less- commonly taught languages, including English and English as a Second Language, bilingual education, the classics, linguistics, translation, research, exchanges, international business education, and educational technology.  NCLIS shares a governance structure and professional staff with the Joint National Committee for Languages (JNCL), a non-profit organization begun in 1976 that serves as a point of reference for the planning of national language policies.
