The Columbia University Language Resource Center has been a hub of distance language learning since 2012, with the start of the Shared Course Initiative. It has leveraged this expertise to provide support for the Columbia language community during the COVID-19 pandemic. This page is an introduction to some of the resources available language instructors. For ongoing events, workshops, and trainings, please subscribe to the LRC newsletter. For one-on-one distance language teaching support, please reach out to us at lrc@columbia.edu.
