We've got just about all our audio online now, except where we can't get copyright permission to do so. If you want to know what materials exist in 100-odd languages, check the web database of the Language Materials Project at UCLA -- http://www.lmp.ucla.edu. It is notable for including only materials that the data-compilers have actually had in their hot little hands -- no vaporware. Beyond that -- when we need to find materials for languages not in that database, we post a question to the LCTL list at CARLA, moderated by Louis Janus -- louis janus <[log in to unmask]> -- and either he or the readers of that list almost always respond most helpfully. Let me know if you have questions about the specific materials Yale teachers use in LCTL courses. (Asian: Chinese, Japanese, Korean; Southeast Asian: Indonesian, Vietnamese; African: Swahili, Yoruba, Zulu, Twi and many others offered on a tutorial basis.) I don't know whether Nelleke Van Deusen-Scholl (Director of the Penn Language Center) reads LLTL, but the PLC teaches even more LCTLs than we do, so you could contact her -- [log in to unmask] -- and ask for info from her teachers. Let me know if I can help further -- Best, Nina At 03:31 PM 9/26/2002 -0400, you wrote: >--- Forwarded Message from Ursula Williams <[log in to unmask]> --- > > >Date: Wed, 25 Sep 2002 15:36:39 -0500 > >To: [log in to unmask] > >From: Ursula Williams <[log in to unmask]> > >Subject: LCTLs resources recommendation? > >Colleagues, I have recently been invited to provide a shopping list >for resource materials for less commonly taught languages.
