This poster session explores the potential of language education as a tool for soft diplomacy, fostering cross-cultural understanding and positive international relations encapsulating three innovative programs implemented in Kyrgyzstan:

- Footballogy: This curriculum, based on my book of the same name, uses American football as a platform for language acquisition, teamwork, and cultural exchange.

- Karaoke Club with a Twist: This program goes beyond singing. It integrates English language skills development with geographical and historical context in the United States.

- RAKMAT (thank you in Kyrgyz): This family-centered initiative incubates literacy and cultural exchange by a program where children and parents read together.
