Materials by Language...

CARLA and the LCTL project have devoloped sharable material (both raw material and exercises) for a number of languages.

Virtual Picture Album (VPA)

The VPA is an archive of digitized photographs and drawings, accompanied by useful descriptions and suggestions for ways LCTL teachers can incorporate these pictures into in-class and out-of-class activities. There is also a small collection of sample exercises using pictures from the VPA. All resources in the VPA can be used free of charge for educational purposes.

Virtual Audio-Video Archives (VAVA)

The VAVA is a collection of royalty-free audio and video files for teachers to use in their own creative exercises, along with a small number of sample exercises. The VAVA currently contains sounds in Arabic (Tunisia), Chinese (PRC), Chinese (Taiwan), Hebrew, Norwegian and Polish, with expansion to other languages in progress.
