Languages ​​and Linguistics Center of Sharif University of Technology

Founded in 1970 by Prof. Morteza Anvari, Sharif Language Center was originally aimed at expanding and promoting the students’ knowledge of foreign languages. Therefore, the center has been responsible for offering English language courses at both undergraduate and graduate levels. Students usually take a total of 3 to 5 credit hours of English (depending on their major and level). These courses include both general and technical English. In 2008, the mission and academic activities of the center were re-evaluated and enhanced by Prof. Ali Meghdari to the level of a Languages and Linguistics Center.Sharif Languages and Linguistics Center (LLC) is committed to excellence in teaching and scholarship that prepares students to fully understand the nature, importance and multiple roles of language, literature, and culture.  We are currently offering General English and Technical English courses along with Persian language and literature to our undergrad students. We are also offering other introductory language courses including French, Spanish, German, and Russian. The LLC has also offered two MA programs in the field of Teaching English as a Foreign Language (TEFL) and Computational Linguistics (CL) since 2009. The CL program has been discontinued, but the TEFL program is still accepting students at MA level.
