WLC is a volunteer program that promotes learning world languages and cultures. WLC learners explore basic language and culture in an informal setting.

The WLC program was developed by Khasilova in 2013 and supported by UW College of Education faculty member Amy Roberts. It was launched in 2014 with the help of UW’s international community and graduate students. The students received internal grants to purchase curriculum materials; instructional technology; and to organize international students and faculty, visiting scholars and international community members as WLC service instructors.

The Associated Students of UW, the UW College of Education and the Global Engagement Office sponsor the WLC program.
