National Language Arts League (NLAL)

◆ English Language Literacy Challenge for Native American Students

◆ An English literacy challenge covering the entire K12 age group compared to the U.S. English education system

◆ A multi-dimensional and comprehensive examination of English literacy skills and the development of creative thinking and other language skills.

◆ Each level is limited to 40 minutes and can be quickly assessed in the classroom.

NATIONAL LANGUAGE ARTS LEAGUE (NLAL) was founded in 1980 by Quartararo and Henry Hull, two educators with more than 30 years of teaching experience. This competition is designed to test and improve the grammar, vocabulary, and reading comprehension skills of students in grades 2-12 in the U.S. Additionally,the NLAL is widely recognized as an effective tool for improving language skills, stimulating creativity, and developing critical thinking and problem-solving skills.

In 2024, ASEEDER and the NLAL organizing committee entered into a partnership to bring this English literacy challenge for Native American students to Asia. The aim is providing students with the opportunity to participate in a Native American English challenge, improve their English language skills, and align with U.S. curriculum standards.
