The John Trim Centre for independent language learning (JTC)

The JTC is a treasure trove of some 180+ languages, for Cambridge students, staff and members of the public to enjoy as a home-from-home for language learning.

The learning centre is dedicated to the memory of John Trim (1924-2013), a pioneer in the field of language education and the description of language learning proficiency, whose work to establish the Common European Framework of Reference as a tool for levelling competences aids language educators worldwide today.  The JTC had its origins in the Department of Applied Linguistics, where John was Head of Department and during which time a small collection of materials began to take shape.
