Title | CASLS Celebrates Its Twentieth Year! |
Body | by Julie Sykes, CASLS Director On September 15, 2014, the Center for Applied Second Language Studies (CASLS) celebrated its 20th Anniversary. Twenty is an exciting milestone. It is a time to celebrate the past and look towards the future. We continue as home to the Chinese Oregon Flagship Program and are excited to announce we have received a Title VI grant to continue as a National Foreign Language Resource Center. While much has changed at CASLS over the past twenty years, we remain a diverse group of multilingual people working together toward a common goal: improving the teaching and learning of second, foreign, and heritage languages. As we look towards the future, CASLS will continue to focus on its core mission by providing research-based solutions to materials creation, implementation, and evaluation and assessment. What does this mean for our work in the immediate future? We will continue many of the projects teachers, students and administrators have asked for and come to count on. In addition, we are starting new projects designed to create exciting opportunities for teaching and learning languages. Our work will center around six main areas:
These priorities have been designed based on your requests for materials and resources. We continue to remain open to your needs and always welcome input and insight. Thank you to CASLS partners around the world and especially to language teachers working every day to expand horizons and make learning languages great! We can't wait for the next 20 years! |
