Founded in 2006, the Center for Educational Resources in Culture, Language, and Literacy (CERCLL) is a Title VI Language Resource Center, which serves as a unique local, regional, and national resource for scholars, academic professionals, teachers, and others interested in improving our nation’s ability to provide high-quality, pedagogically sound, cost-effective foreign language instruction in less commonly taught languages primarily.
Located at the University of Arizona, CERCLL brings together faculty members and other academic professionals from three colleges: the College of Humanities, the College of Social and Behavioral Sciences, and the College of Education. We collaborate with other Title VI National Resource Centers on campus: the Center for East Asian Studies, the Center for Middle Eastern Studies, and the Center for Latin American Studies to provide a solid foundation for language and culture learning in Arizona, across the U.S., and beyond.
With support from the U.S. Department of Education and the University of Arizona, CERCLL has a proven track record of developing and disseminating innovative pedagogical approaches, creating cutting-edge educational materials, conducting and supporting research on foreign language teaching and learning, and providing professional development opportunities for K–16 language educators.
