National Foreign Language Resource Center (NFLRC) Revenue and Competitors

While dedicated to improving the learning and teaching of all languages, the National Foreign Language Resource Center (NFLRC) at the University of Hawai‘i at Mānoa has particularly distinguished itself in its focus on the less commonly taught languages of Asia and the Pacific—languages that are increasingly vital to the nation’s future. We engage in research and materials development projects, conduct summer institutes for language professionals, and distribute a wide variety of publications on center projects and programs. Given Hawai‘i’s geographic location in the center of the Pacific and the rich expertise of the university’s College of Languages, Linguistics & Literature, which offers courses in over 30 world languages and contains an internationally renowned Department of Second Language Studies, the NFLRC has contributed significantly to foreign language education in these areas.
