South Asian Language OER

Description

The South Asia Institute works closely with instructional faculty for South Asian languages taught at the University of Texas. Like all teachers of Less Commonly Taught Languages, these instructors have produced classroom materials, curricular plans, lesson plans, and other resources to facilitate teaching and learning Hindi, Urdu, Malayalam, Tamil, Sanskrit, and Bangla. The Hindi-Urdu Flagship project set a new standard for the kinds of resources available for South Asia languages. Building on their success, and in collaboration with the Center for Open Educational Resources and Language Learning (COERLL), we are working to share resources used at UT for other South Asian languages as open educational resources (OER).

In 1990, the Department of Education established the first Language Resource Centers (LRCs) at U.S. universities in response to the growing national need for expertise and competence in foreign languages. Now, twenty-five years later, Title VI of the Higher Education Act supports sixteen LRCs, creating a national network of resources to promote and improve the teaching and learning of foreign languages.

LRCs create language learning and teaching materials, offer professional development opportunities for language instructors, and conduct and disseminate research on foreign language learning. All LRCs engage in efforts that enable U.S. citizens to better work, serve, and lead.

Learn more about the LRCs by downloading our brochure and discovering more about our history.

Each LRC has a unique story and mission, but all LRC work is organized around eight basic areas:
  • Research
  • Teaching materials
  • Digital tools and resources
  • Assessment
  • Professional development
  • Less commonly taught languages initiatives
  • K-12 initiatives
  • Outreach and dissemination
