CeLCAR is conducting two major research projects:
- A project researching acquisition of Central Asian languages as well as bridging from less commonly taught Turkish and Farsi to even less commonly taught Turkic and Iranian Central Asian languages.
- A project investigating empirically based innovative and effective language teaching methodology for Central Asian languages.
It is anticipated that the results of this research will culminate in curricula, teaching materials, and language courses designed specifically for Central Asian languages, as well as scientific publications.
