​The ​Center for Advanced Research on Language Acquisition (CARLA)​, our sister LRC ​at the University of Minnesota​, provides high-quality professional development opportunities for language teachers ​through its annual summer institute program. Now in its 23rd year, the program offers thirteen institutes on a wide range of topics that are all designed to link research and theory with practical applications for the classroom. Check out Teaching Language Through the Lens of Social Justice, one of CARLA's newer institutes that builds off a popular book published by ACTFL!
