  • COERLL?s mission is to produce and disseminate Open Educational Resources (OERs) for the Internet public (e.g., online language courses, reference grammars, assessment tools, corpora, etc.). The term OER refers to any educational material offered freely for anyone to use, typically involving some permission to re-mix, improve, and redistribute. Thus, COERLL seeks to promote a culture of collaboration that lies at the heart of the Open Education movement. In addition, COERLL aims to reframe foreign language education in terms of bilingualism and/or multilingualism. As such, all COERLL resources strive to represent more accurately language development and performance along dialectal and proficiency continua.

  • Measuring student achievement with a standardized test analogous to measuring a person?s health by determining height and weight. There are many more measures that indicate overall health as there are measures that indicate what students have achieved. There are skills and abilities beyond ?information recall and low-level understanding of concepts? that our students will need for success in a rapidly changing world.
