Distance Instruction

[Jerry Ervin]

Fred,

You might want to contact Tom Beyer (Middlebury) who has at least some
experience in this, specifically with Russian.

The area of foreign language via distance education is not new.  Some
places have done a LOT of it.  Another suggestion is to contact Elizabeth
Hoffman, Nebraska Dept of Education, Lincoln NE:  she's been in charge of
coordinating such a program for a number of years (Japanese, mostly, though
her own background is as a German teacher).  She's also the current
president of the American Council on the Teaching of Foreign Languages, by
the way.

Good luck,

Jerry
