Center for Language Education and Research

The Center of Language Education and Research (CLEAR) at MSU was established in 1996 as Language Resource Center (LRC) through a Title VI grant from the U.S. Department of Education. As an LRC, CLEAR strives to promote and support the teaching and learning of foreign languages in the United States through its various projects and outreach activities. In August 2006, CLEAR began its fourth funding cycle as one of 15 LRC's across the country. In the upcoming years, CLEAR will continue to develop materials for foreign language teaching and learning, conduct research on the teaching and learning of foreign languages and provide professional development opportunities for educators in the field.
CLEAR's projects arranged into five categories include:

• Web-based Materials Development Projects
• Professional Development Projects
• Evaluation/Assessment Projects
• Collaborative Projects
• Research Projects

The Asian Studies Center cooperates with CLEAR in maintaining innovative and top-quality language instruction in Asian languages at MSU.
