Re: #8644 Does your center have a Mission
Statement?
Dear David,
Here's our mission statement from the Berkeley Language
Center:
Founded in 1994, the
Berkeley Language Center is a department in the Division of the Arts
and Humanities of the College of Letters and Sciences. The BLC's mission is to
support the learning and teaching of heritage and foreign languages on
the Berkeley campus and, where appropriate, in the University of
California system. To meet this overarching goal, the BLC employs
numerous strategies to improve teaching effectiveness and enhance the
learning environment:
*
Provide language instructors with opportunities to learn of
new developments in the fields of sociolinguistics, language pedagogy,
and second language acquisition theory;
* Support
research by language instructors and its dissemination at professional
meetings and in professional journals;
*
Support faculty production of new language learning
materials;
*
Provide faculty and students with state-of-the-art learning
facilities and equipment;
*
Provide faculty and students with access to language learning
materials;
* Maintain
a library and media archive of materials for language teaching and
research.
Best wishes,
Rick Kern

Dear LLTIers,
I am formulating a mission statement for our center, connected with a
plan to
renovate it. Does your center have a mission statement? If so, could
you share
it with LLTI or with me?
We might steal your mission statement (just kidding) but we will not
take over
your center (not kidding).
Thanks!
