Under the direction of Professor Robert Blake (UC Davis), The UC Consortium for Language Learning & Teaching is a system-wide initiative designed to make the most effective use of UC’s vast linguistic resources and expertise at a time when foreign language enrollments are increasing dramatically. The consortium fosters collaboration among and across the language programs at the UC campuses with an eye to increasing student access to language study through a combination of the best classroom practices, technological enhancements, and Education Abroad Programs programs
