The Center for Language Exploration, Acquisition, and Research (CLEAR) supports the work done by the faculty in the department of World Languages and Cultures at American University by hosting staff and resources to enhance the language courses offered on campus and to facilitate AU students’ language learning experience overall.
CLEAR is the perfect place for you to share your language and culture with other students at AU and to embrace different cultures throughout the Academic Year. One of CLEAR’s most sought after resources is its language coaching team: It is made up of native speakers of all the languages taught on campus. Depending on the number of students taking any one language on a given semester, individual language coaching teams can contain as many as 5 people or as few as 1 person.
The CLEAR Arabic Language Coach provides language coaching to students currently enrolled in a language course taught at American University.
