Our sister Language Resource Center the Center for Open Educational Resources and Language Learning has updated their website; you can access their many free learning materials and learn about upcoming opportunities as well as COERLL's projects for the next four years at http://www.coerll.utexas.edu/coerll/

COERLL's planned projects for the next four years fall under 4 main areas of focus:

Open Educational Resources (OER) for Less Commonly Taught Languages
Collaborative projects with National Resource Centers for the development and dissemination of OER designed to advance the instruction of less commonly taught languages using technology-enhanced settings such as video conferencing and mobile learning.

Open Platforms for FL Teaching and Learning
Platforms that facilitate language learning through open educational practices such as the remixing and repurposing of open content.

OER for Teacher Development
OER used in FL teacher training related to new instructional methods, language technology and current pedagogical research.

OER Research
Research on foreign language OER adoption and use in K-12 and post-secondary institutions, including community colleges and minority-serving institutions.

Over the next 4 years COERLL will also continue to offer professional development events including conferences as well as webinars that focus on quality training for which teachers will be able to receive CPE credits.
