The Penn Language Center was established in 1989 for the purpose of expanding, intensifying and enriching Penn's language curriculum. The University of Pennsylvania has a long and distinguished record in the teaching of foreign languages and plays a leading role in all the major research fields related to foreign language learning. Language learning is highly integrated into both the curriculum and the research effort of the academic community. The most significant feature of the PLC has been its structural flexibility that has made it possible to respond to changes in demand for instruction in a variety of languages. The PLC has been able to serve growing language instruction needs which could not be covered within the regular programs of established departments.
