LCTL Listservs — The Less Commonly Taught Languages Project has established eight electronic mailing lists (listservs) to provide a way for LCTL teachers to maintain contact with one another. Discussions on these lists are un moderated, and are expected to revolve around pedagogy, materials, enrolments, and meetings. Future announcements of sources of sharable material, organized by the LCTL project, will also be made through these lists. In addition to the general discussion list for all LCTL teachers, there are specific lists for teachers of Celtic languages, Dutch, Hebrew, Hindi, Korean, Scandinavian languages, Polish and of Portuguese.
