Recruiting qualified world language (WL) educators is a continuing challenge in the United States. Limited research has been conducted on attracting potential teacher candidates. Furthermore, recruitment materials are unavailable in target languages, making it difficult for existing WL teachers, as critical advocates for the profession, to incorporate recruitment into their instruction. This study discusses the findings from the implementation of an adapted teacher recruitment curriculum created for secondary students in Early College Experience (ECE) Spanish courses. Using data from pre‐ and post‐intervention surveys, responses to writing prompts, and post‐intervention focus groups, we found that the curriculum contributed to a slight increase in student interest in becoming WL educators, as well as interest in continuing language study beyond high school. However, several teaching‐related student concerns also surfaced, most notably salary and target language ability. We discuss implications for general and WL teacher recruitment, including the importance of targeting potential WL educators in their language classrooms

¡阿德兰特教授！以目标语言招聘教师

在美国，招募合格的世界语言 (WL) 教育工作者是一项持续的挑战。关于吸引潜在教师候选人的研究有限。此外，没有目标语言的招聘材料，使得现有的 WL 教师作为该专业的重要倡导者，很难将招聘纳入他们的教学中。本研究讨论了在早期大学体验 (ECE) 西班牙语课程中为中学生创建的改编教师招聘课程的实施结果。使用干预前和干预后调查、对写作提示的反应和干预后焦点小组的数据，我们发现课程有助于略微增加学生成为 WL 教育者的兴趣，以及对高中以后继续语言学习的兴趣。然而，一些与教学相关的学生问题也浮出水面，最显着的是薪水和目标语言能力。我们讨论了对一般和 WL 教师招聘的影响，包括在语言课堂中针对潜在的 WL 教育者的重要性
