NECTFL: Northeast Conference on the Teaching of Foreign Languages

The Northeast Conference on the Teaching of Foreign Languages

The National Foreign Language Resource Centers

The Language Resource Centers Program was created in 1990 under Title VI of the Higher Education Act of the U.S. Department of Education. It originally included nine centers, but in August 2002, five new National Foreign Language Centers were funded through USDE Title VI grants, bringing the total to fourteen. The mission of these centers is to serve as resources to improve the nation's capacity to teach and learn foreign languages effectively. The fourteen LRCs work cooperatively to achieve that goal.
