Teaching and learning foreign languages will get a boost from a new four-year
grant to MSU from the U.S. Department of Education in the latest round
of the Title VI Language Resource Center grant competition. The grant,
to begin in August 2002, was awarded to the MSU Center for Language Education
and Research (CLEAR), the Title VI National Foreign Language Center housed
in the College of Arts and Letters. Funds will support CLEAR's continuing
activities to strengthen the teaching and learning of foreign languages
in the United States.
CLEAR has been funded to date under Title VI for two three-year grant
cycles, beginning in 1996, with each grant cycle bringing in approximately
$1 million. Professors Susan Gass and Patricia Paulsell of the Department
of Linguistics, Germanic, Slavic, Asian and African Languages are co-authors
of these successful grant proposals and codirectors of CLEAR.

this issue.
