Persian Language Programs for Universities

Persian Prime partners with universities, Persian language departments, and language centers to develop and strengthen Persian language education at the institutional level. We work with the people responsible for building and running Persian language programs — department chairs, program directors, language center leadership, and faculty — whether your institution is launching a new Persian studies program, expanding an existing department, or adding structure to your current Persian language courses.

Why Universities Choose Persian Prime as an Academic Partner

Persian Prime approaches Persian language education from an academic and research-oriented foundation, drawing on applied linguistics and language pedagogy. This grounding shapes how we work with institutions: as an academic partner engaged in curriculum, assessment, and teaching questions alongside your department, rather than as a materials vendor supplying a fixed package.

You can read more about the research and pedagogical foundations behind our work on our Research page, and about the academic background of Persian Prime on our Founder page.

Curriculum, Materials, and Support for Persian Language Departments

Persian Prime supports the core components of a Persian language program, adapted to your institution's structure and goals.

Curriculum & Program Development We work with institutions on Persian curriculum design — building a program from the ground up, developing a new course sequence, or refining an existing Persian studies program to better fit your department's needs.

Teaching Materials & Resources Persian Prime offers Persian language teaching materials and educational resources built to work within a structured curriculum, so they can be adapted into your department's existing courses or a newly developed program rather than used as disconnected content.

Assessment & Placement Placement and proficiency assessment are addressed in detail below.

Teacher Training & Faculty Support Institutions often need support for the instructors delivering a program, not just the curriculum itself. Persian Prime offers training and professional development for Persian language teachers and faculty — see our For Teachers page for more detail.

Persian Language Assessment & Proficiency Framework

Accurate placement and assessment are central to any Persian language program. Persian Prime's approach to Persian language assessment is grounded in the same pedagogical principles that inform our curriculum work, and includes:

Persian language placement testing

to help departments place incoming students at the appropriate level within a course sequence

Proficiency assessment

evaluating Persian language proficiency in a way that aligns with the levels and progression used across a Persian Prime curriculum

A consistent approach to Persian language standards

clear level descriptions that give a department a coherent way to describe and track learner progression

If your institution needs a structured way to place and assess Persian language learners, we're glad to discuss how our approach could apply to your program.

How a Partnership with Persian Prime Works

A collaboration with Persian Prime typically starts with understanding your institution's current Persian language offering — whether that's an established Persian language department, a newer language center program, or a university considering Persian language courses for the first time. From there, the scope of a partnership depends on what your institution actually needs:

✓ An existing program may need Persian language teaching materials or an updated assessment and placement process, without a full curriculum rebuild.

✓ A new program may need Persian curriculum design and development from the ground up, along with faculty training to support delivery.

✓ An established department may want an academic partner for a specific piece — placement testing, materials for a particular course level, or training for new instructors.

Because of this range, Persian Prime functions less as a fixed-package Persian curriculum provider and more as a partner that scopes the collaboration to your program's actual stage and goals. The specifics — timeline, deliverables, and level of involvement — are worked out directly with your department.
