Center for Language Education And Research (CLEAR) at Michigan State University - Materials and Products

Welcome!

I can start using these free resources as soon as school starts! I don't have a language lab but with the CLEAR tools I don't really need one.

Welcome to CLEAR's online store. CLEAR was established in 1996 as a Language Resource Center (LRC) through a Title VI grant from the U.S. Department of Education. As an LRC, CLEAR strives to promote and support the teaching and learning of foreign languages in the United States through its various projects and outreach activities.

The majority of our products are available free of charge. This includes web applications for language learning and teaching, CD-ROMs, and a variety of downloadable PDF publications. Some products, such as language learning software, workbooks, and videos, are available for a modest cost. Proceeds from the sale of these products go toward further materials development at CLEAR.
