The common goal of the Language Resource Centers (LRCs) is to promote the learning and teaching of
foreign languages in the
United States through improving language teacher education, developing improved assessment measures, and conducting research. The US Department of Education established the first LRCs at US universities in 1990 in response to the growing national need for expertise and competence in foreign languages.[5] Led by nationally and internationally recognized language professionals, LRCs create
language learning materials, offer
professional development workshops, and conduct research on foreign language learning.
The Language Resource Centers created a common
LRC Web Portal, which provides a searchable database to all of LRC the materials, resources, and professional development opportunities.
