As the open education movement continues to grow and affect foreign language (FL) teaching and learning in a variety of educational contexts (e.g., K–12 and post-secondary institutions, including community colleges and minority-serving institutions), there is a critical need for research that explores (a) how FL educators perceive and make use of open educational resources (OER) in their classrooms, and (b) the nature of and reasons for the rise in open educational language practices (OEP) in the United States and in other parts of the world. COERLL's research initiatives intend to fill a void in the literature regarding OER and OEP and promote the overall expansion of the FL open education movement.
