"The Center for Educational Resources in Culture, Language and Literacy (CERCLL) is a Title VI Language Resource Center. We research culture, language and literacy within less commonly taught languages (LCTLs). We also provide educators with teaching resources and opportunities for meaningful professional development.

CERCLL serves as a unique local, regional, and national resource for scholars, academic professionals, teachers and others interested in improving our nation's capacity to deliver high-quality, pedagogically-sound, and cost-effective instruction in foreign languages. The majority of CERCLL's projects focus on the teaching and learning needs of the LCTLs. In accordance with the invitational priorities, we have several projects that have been developed and are in development with UA's Center for Middle Eastern Studies (CMES) and Center for Latin American Studies (CLAS), which are Title VI National Resource Centers (NRC). We are also collaborating with many other LRCs (CARLA, CALPER, CASLS, LARC, NCLRC, NFLRC, NHLRC, and NMELRC) on several projects."
