University of Texas this coming semester!"

Excellent!  UT is where I graduated from with a BA in linguistics in
1984.  At the time it was among the top 3-5 schools in the field of
linguistics in the U.S.  But, don't let the year of graduation fool you.  I
didn't start college until I was 25, and I crammed 4 years into 9 ;-).
Congratulations.

Folks,

Talking about education, I think it would be a great idea if we compiled
display lists of programs teaching Lowlands languages to non-native
speakers.  In the case of non-power languages (Scots, Northumbrian, Lowlands
Saxon, Limburgish, Appalachian, etc.) this would be *any* program.  We could
also include (and mark accordingly) any programs that deal with Lowlands
languages and cultures as significant minor components, such as Lowlands
Saxon within Neerlandistics and Germanistics programs, Afrikaans as a major
area in a linguistics program, English dialects within English departments,
Lowlands literature within comparative literature programs, Lowlands history
within history programs, Lowlands arts and architecture within art history
programs, etc.

I frequently receive inquiries about such educational opportunities, so this
is a needed information service.

You could send such information to me (sassisch at yahoo.com), and I will see
to it that it be incorporated in resource lists at our website.

Please include the following information if possible:

1. Names of institution (or web-based course) and department or division
2. Language(s) and/or related discipline(s) taught
3. Number of units/terms
4. Characteristics, structure and types of media
5. Prerequisits
6. Mailing address
7. Email address
8. Website URL

Thanks in advance!
Reinhard/Ron
