BLC Fellows Program

Berkeley Language Center Fellows Program

Since 1996, the BLC Fellows Program has funded over 200 Fellows with the goal of supporting continuing professional development and theoretical expertise in second language acquisition (SLA), applied language studies, and world languages pedagogy. The Program provides Fellows with structured mentorship and a community of colleagues to support the development of a research project related to language teaching and learning.

These research projects combine theory and practice in the creation of instructional materials for any level of language / culture instruction. The materials have a direct impact on language instruction at UCB (e.g., new or revised courses and curricular modules or assessment plans) and beyond (e.g., conference presentations and published papers) as Fellows implement their projects in the classroom and circulate their findings within their departments.

I don't quite have the words to describe how meaningful the fellowship has been for our whole language program and beyond. I anticipate that this approach will gain traction across the Scandinavian departments in the US.
