| (CLI) was informally established in 1990,
when a group of language instructors from various departments
began to meet regularly. The goal of these informal
meetings was to create a forum where ideas for improving language
instruction could be shared easily across departments. One
of the first tasks council members undertook, was the sharing
of information on lecturers’ appointments including
salary levels as there was a perceived inequality between
departments and appointments. The council was officially recognized
in 1995 as a standing committee by the college and given a
modest fund ($ 2000) to be spent at the discretion of the
council.

The council has a long history of strengthening language
instruction across departments. The council organizes workshops,
seminars, and talks dealing with the newest research on second
language acquisition and with applied and practical matters
in language teaching. Every year, the council members work
on specific projects furthering the mission of the council.
