Center for Language Education and Research (CLEAR) at Michigan State University

CLEAR celebrates its 17th year of service to the language education community in the 2012-13 academic year!

I will use RIAs to replace outdated instructional technology methods and contrived audio, video, and reading selections with more up-to-date, authentic ones.

• CLEAR is pleased to announce a limited number of stipends, which will be made available to foreign language teachers who wish to attend CLEAR’s on-campus workshops in July and/or August 2013. For more information, click here.
• The Spring 2013 issue of CLEAR News is now available for download. Take a look for a great article on Service-Learning!
