Title VI Language Resource Centers
Since 1990, the U.S. Department of Education has awarded Title VI grants to institutions of higher education in order to establish Language Resource Centers (LRCs). The common goal of the LRCs is to promote the learning and teaching of foreign languages in the United States.
Go to the Joint Language Resource Center Website for a searchable database of resources and professional development opportunities available through the Centers. This site is scheduled for revision in 2023.
