Center for Applied Second Language Studies - The Northwest National Foreign Language Resource Center
Improving Language Teaching and Learning

The Center for Applied Second Language Studies (CASLS) at the University of Oregon is committed to supporting foreign language educators so that they can best serve their students. Our work integrates technology and research with curriculum, assessment, professional development, and program development.

We believe that:
  • All children have the ability to learn another language and should be provided that opportunity.
  • Meaningful communication is the purpose of language learning.
  • Teachers are the solution to improving student outcomes.
