LearningLanguages.net brought together the best online foreign language resources for English-speaking K-12 students and teachers. The project was created, maintained, and enhanced by a team of staff and students at the Internet Scout Research Group in partnership with the University of Wisconsin-Madison College of Letters and Science and with support from the Claire Giannini Hoffman Fund.
LearningLanguages.net was built using the Scout Portal Toolkit. The underlying portal installation was customized to add features specific to foreign language acquisition, and populated with information about online foreign language education resources. The project focused on three languages: Spanish, French, and Japanese. Content experts scoured the web every week for the best resources, and then described and cataloged them in order to make them accessible through the portal.
