The goals of the North Carolina Language and Life Project (NCLLP) are:
- to gather basic research information about language varieties in order to understand the nature of language variation and change
- to document language varieties in North Carolina and beyond as they reflect varied cultural traditions
- to provide information about language differences for public and educational interests
- to use research material for the improvement of educational programs about language and culture
The NCLLP has made excerpts of several of its documentary programs available on the LEARN NC website. A number of the videos have associated lesson plans.
