Our largest annual event is a competitive language challenge that has world-language teams compete against each other to see which team can keep their language in use the longest. Last Language Standing draws 350+ students, faculty, and staff from across Grounds to use their language skills and support their language teams.

Participants sign up for time slots throughout the day and do activities with their group using only their world language. Use of English will not be permitted during the competition, except for communication with LC staff, unless a staff member also speaks the world language of the participant.
