Welcome to the Diagora Project!

The Language Acquisition Resource Center at San Diego State University (LARC/SDSU) has embarked on a new, multi-year project: The Diagora project.

Our center has a proud history of offering intensive language courses tailored for specific purposes, grounded in the ACTFL and California World Languages standards. Our mission is to provide high-quality language education to a diverse audience, including middle and high school students, professionals, and those dedicated to revitalizing Native American languages.

Our primary objectives encompass:

• Offering language learning opportunities to middle and high school students to enhance their language skills in preparation for their college and professional life.
• Providing specialized language courses for specific purposes for professionals in various fields such as medical, business & trade, and legal.
• Helping revitalize Native (endangered) languages.

Leveraging our wealth of experience gained over the past 30 years through various programs including Language Resource Center (LRC), Language Training Center (LTC), Project Global Officers, STARTALK, and SAILN, we possess the necessary expertise, knowledge, and proven methodologies to successfully lead this initiative. Our team comprises a diverse, multilingual team that collaborates with partners on and off campus to promote and engage in language teaching-and-learning practice, policy, and research.

Thank you for your support and interest in the Diagora Project! Together, we can make a difference in language education and revitalization.
