College Reading & Learning Association (CRLA)

CRLA (formerly WCRLA) is a group of student-oriented professionals active in the fields of reading, learning assistance, developmental education, tutoring and mentoring at the college/adult level. CRLA is inherently diverse in membership. CRLA’s most vital function and overall purpose is to provide a forum for the interchange of ideas, methods and information to improve student learning and to facilitate the professional growth of its members. Members give practical application to their research and promote the implementation of innovative strategies to enhance student learning. In a spirit of community, members share their own successful experiences with others so that all may benefit. Anyone who belongs to a faculty or administration of a public or private college or university, and who has an interest in college learning assistance, tutorial programs, reading and developmental education is invited to join the College Reading and Learning Association.

Journal of College Literacy & Learning (JCLL)

College Literacy and Learning is a special interest group of the International Literacy Association (ILA) and meets once a year at the International Literacy Association’s national convention. The College Literacy and Learning Special Interest Group has four primary purposes:

1. To provide for an exchange of ideas and techniques with regard to teaching methods and evaluation of students’ literacy and learning in two and four-year colleges and universities, as well as the evaluation of the effectiveness of the programs, textbooks and teaching materials.
2. To propose and encourage the adoption of certain specific qualifications for the teachers of college literacy and learning programs.
3. To act as a resource body to aid colleges in implementing or improving literacy and learning programs for their students.
4. To sponsor conferences, meetings, and publications planned to further the purposes of CLL and IRA.
