The Modern Language Association (MLA) announces two searchable tools 
presenting enrollments in languages other than English taught in 
institutions of higher education in the United States.

The first is the user-friendly _Language Enrollment Database, 1958–2009_ 
<http://www.mla.org/flsurvey_search>, which makes available language 
enrollment data over time. This data is a compilation of enrollment 
numbers from all the MLA language enrollment surveys, starting with the 
first one in 1958. None of this data was previously available in 
electronic format.

The second is an enhanced _MLA Language Map_ 
<http://arcgis.mla.org/mla/default.aspx>that shows where languages are 
taught in the context of where they are spoken. Enrollment figures are 
available for each language mapped, as are the locations and size of 
language programs.
