However, for various reasons we would like to offer our students the opportunity to study critical languages, such as Arabic, even though we cannot start an Arabic program on campus. Consequently, we are looking for (accredited) self-instruction programs our students could complete -- for which we could award them credit. I tried to find out if the NASILP (National Association of Self Instruction Language Programs) offered Arabic, but was informed that any and all information (beyond what's available on their Web site; http://www.nasilp.org/) was only available after paying $250.00 in membership fees. I would appreciate any hints you might have for me. Gettysburg College also has a very active Study Abroad Program (50% of our student study abroad), with many countries where the official language is not one taught on campus. Consequently, we would also be interested in similar courses for Hungarian, Danish, and Swahili. Thanks for your assistance, Sabine ********************** Sabine Siekmann, Ph.D. Director, Language Resource Center Gettysburg College [log in to unmask] 717-337-6340 *********************************************** LLTI is a service of IALLT, the International Association for Language Learning, and The Consortium for Language Teaching and Learning (http://consortium.dartmouth.edu).
