MIT OpenCourseWare | Global Studies and Languages. University of Cambridge Language Centre. To support language learning the Language Centre is making a range of its language learning resources available as open courseware under the Creative Commons Licence. Most of these resources were initially developed for the language courses run as part of the Cambridge University Language Programme (CULP).

The materials were designed for use in a blended learning environment combining ICT-based learning with face-to-face learning in the classroom. The resources can be used for self-study but for their most effective use they will benefit from a learning environment with some face-to-face contact. We hope to make further resources available as open courseware in the near future. Licence The web-based applications are made available under the Creative Commons Attribution-NonCommercial-NoDerivs 2.0 UK: England & Wales Licence. Donations In order to maintain and update its open courseware the Language Centre needs financial support. Requirements & Installation Requirements Server installation.

LangMedia: Resources for World Languages - Five College Center for the Study of World Languages. LangMedia was made possible by grants from the National Security Education Program (NSEP) and the Fund for Post-Secondary Education (FIPSE) of the U.S. Department of Education. These videos were filmed by Five College international students in their home countries between 1999 and 2002. We aim to provide examples of authentic language spoken in its natural cultural environment so that students of all ages can better understand the interplay between a language and its culture.

The videos were filmed with handheld camcorders and microphones provided by the Center. The video and audio quality varies. Students should be aware that we have tried to remain true to the language our subjects actually uttered.
