Hi Ursula --
Yale offers 54 languages in the catalogue and actually teachers
28-30 in any given semester, and the Center for Language Study offers
Directed Independent Language Study in 14 more, so I guess we
qualify. 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
