Additional Initiatives
CARLA’s mission -- to improve language teaching and learning
-- is accomplished through its numerous grant-related projects.
In addition, CARLA supports a number of broad initiatives that
are not tied to specific projects, along with variety of individual
CARLA members’ activities that fall outside the bounds of
its funded projects but have the CARLA mission at their core.
Examples of these initiatives include CARLA summer
institutes, the International Language
Teacher Education conference, presentations by CARLA Fellows,
publication of non-project-based CARLA Working
Papers, co-sponsorship of grants that are housed in other
departments or institutions, and sponsorship of academic conferences
focused on language teaching and learning.
