COERLL Austin, TX

COERLL's mission is to produce and disseminate Open Educational Resources (OER) for the Internet public (e.g., online language courses, reference grammars, assessment tools, corpora, etc.). The term OER refers to any educational material offered freely for anyone to use, typically involving some permission to re-mix, improve, and redistribute. Thus, COERLL seeks to promote a culture of collaboration that lies at the heart of the Open Education movement. In addition, COERLL aims to reframe foreign language education in terms of bilingualism and/or multilingualism. As such, all COERLL resources strive to represent more accurately language development and performance along dialectal and proficiency continua.

Working with Texts Online	Print
Description Moving (quickly!) into online teaching environments does not mean the end of working with texts in the language, literature, and culture classroom. And in some cases, it can be an opportunity to push student thinking about texts, engaging them in new literacy practices that intentionally and creatively use digital platforms. This (free) resource includes ideas on how to work with texts in online/remote teaching that Emily Hellmich has used in her own classes. Whenever possible, she includes links to examples and to templates that you can use yourself. The document includes information on the following topics: Annotations Jigsaw Discussions, remixed Digital Literacies: Transforming Texts Resource Link
Resources for Social Justice and Anti-Racism in the L2 Classroom	Print
Description As a National Language Resource Center whose mission is to promote the integration of languages, literacies, and intercultural perspectives, the Center for Educational Resources in Culture, Language and Literacy (CERCLL) is committed to addressing the forms of inequity, racism, and discrimination that too often are left unexamined in that work. In order to do better ourselves and as a means of inviting others to join us, we are compiling a set of resources for language and culture educators. This includes a wide range of materials to read, watch, and listen to, which will help teachers to think about how anti-racist pedagogy might inform their practices. Some of these are focused on teaching more generally, but we also wish to promote materials directed at language and culture educators specifically. This list is by no means comprehensive. If you know of additional resources or you yourself have created or published something you would like to share, please do reach out to us at cercll@email.arizona.edu. Resource Link
