Distance Learning Initiative for Less Commonly Taught Languages

This site should serve as a hub to orient the UC community - students, faculty, staff, alumni, friends - in what instruction in LCTLs across UC campuses entails. We offer some basic guidelines and starting points for instructors in conducting their courses by DL, or in transitioning current courses to a DL mode; some pointers for students looking at a LCTL by DL; links to DL courses already successfully run or currently running; and links and references to some of the best sites and information from across the country and around the world on language instruction by DL.

The UCLA Center for World Languages has entered into a wide array of agreements with Ministries of Education, granting agencies, universities, language institutes, and private corporations to provide language instruction, curriculum development, teacher training, program assessment, and research projects. A partial list of current and past projects, which reflect the primary areas of Center interest and expertise, follows:
