What does it really mean to learn language at the speed of being human?

In this episode of It’s About Language, Norah Jones sits down with James Mattiace for a thoughtful conversation about language learning, competency-based education, and what happens when we stop rushing fluency and start honoring how people actually grow.

James shares insights from his work across multiple countries and education systems, exploring how standards-based and competency-based approaches can reshape the way we think about assessment, access, and opportunity. Together, they unpack how language connects identity, dignity, and real-world readiness — especially for learners navigating complex circumstances.

If you care about language education, global learning, equity, or the future of assessment, this conversation will challenge and encourage you.
