Since 1990, the U.S. Department of Education has awarded Title VI grants to institutions of higher education in order to establish language resource centers (LRCs). The common goal of the LRCs is to promote the learning and teaching of foreign languages in the United States. Led by nationally and internationally recognized language professionals, the LRCs create language-learning materials, offer professional development workshops, and conduct research on foreign language learning. While some of the LRCs concentrate on specific language areas, other LRCs direct their attention to foreign languages in general.

Presently there are fifteen Title VI Language Resource Centers nationwide.

Summer institutes are offered by the fifteen Title VI Language Resource Centers funded by the U.S. Department of Education. Details of each summer institute opportunity are available on the website of the sponsoring Language Resource Center. Click on the link below to view their summer institute offerings.
