I figured that many Universities around the world had developed their own course work for a number of languages and simultaneously have made the materials available for the general public for self/private teaching. If anyone has found any interesting materials from Universities please post them here.
I'll go first: The University of Arizona Critical Language Series http://clp.arizona.edu/cls/allproducts.htm They have developed a multimedia series that can be used for self-teaching. Brazilian Portuguese, Cantonese, Chinese, Kazakh, Korean, Turkish & Ukranian For those learning "rare" languages: http://www.lmp.ucla.edu/ The Association for development of self-teaching programs. http://www.nasilp.net/ UCLA's language database.

Hmmm...that Critical Language Korean looks interesting...and not very expensive, either.

Should the contributing posts be from the Universities like this: Cornell University http://lrc.cornell.edu/sales or University published series like so: Yale University http://yalepress.yale.edu/yupbooks/SeriesPage.asp?series=103 1 person has voted this message useful | |||

I would ideally like to bring to light a number of materials that we may not generally know about like the Critical Language Series. A lot of these materials could be of high value to many of us, but Universities don't have super large marketing arms to let us know about their existence. So I would like members to use their judgement and post quality materials that would be beneficial to others. For example after seeing what the Arizona offers I'm tempted to take one of those languages.

I'm sure that they've been mentioned before (in a few cases by me), but it can't hurt to post them again.

Warp3, I have the Korean course, and I think it's very good! Go for it!
While I don't approve of this, I think I saw some of the video clips from CLS Korean on Youtube a while ago, so if you go on there you might get a taste for the course. CLS are serious learning CD Roms, not overpriced gimmicks like (ahem) Rosetta Stone! 1 person has voted this message useful | |||

Looking again, I think they might have put it on YT themselves. They have added new titles and levels since I last saw the site. From the level of the basic CDs I imagine that the intermediate and advanced materials walk their talk!
