Dear Lisa,

In case no one else suggested this: you might want to look at Duolingo for Schools (https://schools.duolingo.com/). Instructors can assign Duolingo lessons to their students and see the students’ activity on a dashboard. Also, Duolingo has in production or beta a number of LCTLs, including Chinese and Japanese. I’ve had mixed results using those courses on my own, because there isn’t always audio to help me understand and practice pronunciation, but in a classroom, where the instructor can provide that expertise, that should be less of a problem.

Sincerely,

Hi Everybody:

I am a Tutor Coordinator in ESOL who also works with world language students in the language lab at Richland College.  I have been asked to find language learning programssuch as Mango, Pronunciator, and Rosetta Stone (all of which we already have used) that could be used when a foreign language textbook does NOT have an online component.  This happens the most often with the lesser taught languages like Chinese, Japanese, Arabic, and Italian.  If you have any suggestions plus vendor contact info, I would be most grateful.  Many thanks ahead for your response.

Best,

Lisa Katzenstein
