The School of Languages and Linguistics at Georgetown serves as a field site for some research activities, as do local school systems in Maryland and Virginia. LARC has shifted its focus during the second funding cycle to the development and implementation of a national training model that incorporates previous research and development. The training is designed to impact language instruction in K-12 and postsecondary institutions. The University of Hawaii is also building on the existing structure and accomplishments of the currently funded Center. Although the Center focuses particularly on languages of Asia and the Pacific in its training, curriculum, and research activities, it also includes German, Russian, and other European languages in its efforts.
