Welcome to the Yamada Language Center!


We are the University's service and technology center for language teaching and learning.

 

Besides supporting teaching efforts in Romance Languages, East Asian Languages, German and Scandinavian, REESC, and the American English Institute, we're also the home for the World Languages Academy and the Selfstudy Language Program, two teaching programs focused on "less commonly taught languages".

Let us help you make your language teaching/learning more meaningful and productive.

 

That service is the noblest which is rendered for its own sake. --Mahatma Gandhi

We look forward to collaborating with them on outreach and technological innovation.
