The Center for Open Educational Resources & Language Learning (COERLL) is one of 15 [|National Foreign Language Resource Centers] funded by the US 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, and outreach and dissemination.
