"Copyright-free Audio-Visual Resource Center"

Copyright-free audio-visual teaching materials available
The Department of East Asian Languages and Literatures of Washington and Lee University established a Copyright-free Audio-Visual Resource Center for teachers of Japanese in 1998 with the support of Washington and Lee University, The Associated Colleges of the South, and Middlebury CollegeÕs Project 2001.
The Resource Center consists of digitized videos and still pictures that can be used by teachers of Japanese. Digitized images are for using them in class and developing teaching materials of your own. Since all the images are copyright-free, teachers can use them without worrying about copyrights. All the images are in the form of four CD-ROMs. Videos contain images for teaching certain grammar and for katakana reading practice. There are approximately 430 still pictures of various sorts. All the materials will be obtained at actual costs ($17.00 for four CD-ROMs, including postage). If you already received the first 3 CDs and want the fourth CD, please send $4.00, including postage. For further information, go to http://www.wlu.edu/~kujie/slide.html and contact Ken Ujie(kujie@wlu.edu).
Please write a check to Washington and Lee University and mail it to Ken Ujie, Dept. of EALL, Washington and Lee University, Lexington, VA 24450
