The Interagency Language Roundtable (ILR) is an unfunded Federal
interagency organization established for the coordination and
sharing of information about language-related activities at the
Federal level. It serves as the premier way for departments and
agencies of the Federal government to keep abreast of the progress
and implementation of techniques and technology for language
learning, language use, language testing and other language-related
activities. Participation in the ILR provides organizations and
individuals with: (1) an assured channel of communication and
cooperation among agencies that have common interests in foreign
language training and testing; (2) a centralized forum for the
dissemination of language-related information across the government;
and (3) a working network for the mutual sharing of ideas,
information and language resources among organizations in
government, the academic community, and the private sector.
Participants meet every month from September to June to attend
plenary presentations by an ILR organization or guest speakers, to
discuss common interests in topic-specific committees and special
interest groups and to network with professional colleagues.
Attendance at ILR meetings is open to any interested individual,
government or civilian.
