Here's the mission statement from CLA Language Center of University of Minnesota. It's been a long time since we first adopted it and we are thinking of revising it, too. It's good to see what other people have. The Language Center's goal is to enhance second language instruction at the University of Minnesota. In keeping with this overall goal, the Center provides audio, video and computer facilities and equipment, assists in the preparation of instructional material for audio, video and computer language use, and offers training and consultation to instructors concerning the application of new instructional technologies. Although secondary to instructional support, faculty and students from several departments use the Language Center facilities for research purposes. Also, the Center houses the College of Liberal Arts Testing Program. The program coordinates registration, administration, and data management services for language testing in the college. ***** Jian Wu, Ph.D. Associate Director CLA Language Center University of Minnesota 110G Jones Hall 27 Pleasant St. SE Minneapolis, MN 55455 612-625-8658 [log in to unmask]
