Center for Open Educational Resources and Language Learning

The Center for Open Educational Resources & Language Learning (COERLL) is one of 16 National Foreign Language Resource Centers (LRC’s) funded by the U.S. Department of Education. The overall mission of these federally-funded centers is to improve the teaching and learning of foreign languages by producing resources (materials and best practices) that can be profitably employed in a variety of settings.

COERLL’s work is organized around seven basic areas:

• Applied linguistic research
• Teaching materials
• Language assessment
• Teacher development
• Less commonly taught languages
• K-12 initiatives
• Outreach and dissemination
