New technologies provide new opportunities for education in languages, both rare and popular, and this volume explores the potential of multimedia Web-based instruction for learning and
teaching less commonly taught languages. Contributors offer views on this exciting, state-of-the-art instruction method, drawing on their work at various American academic institutions
teaching these rare languages. The authors examine key issues in the development process and use of Web-based instruction, and they analyze experimental model paradigms based on
representative languages including Polish, Catalan, Uyghur, and Farsi, making Web-Based Instruction a valuable sourcebook to language educators.
