Try this link to see all the downloadable DLI materials on ERIC:

http://www.eric.ed.gov/ERICWebPortal/Home.portal?_nfpb=true&ERICExtSearch_Operator_2=and&ERICExtSearch_SearchType_0=co&ERICExtSearch_SearchValue_2=&ERICExtSearch_SearchValue_1=&ERICExtSearch_Operator_1=and&ERICExtSearch_SearchType_1=kw&ERICExtSearch_PubDate_To=2008&ERICExtSearch_SearchValue_0=%22defense+language+inst%22&ERICExtSearch_SearchType_2=kw&ERICExtSearch_SearchCount=2&ERICExtSearch_PubDate_From=0&ERICExtSearch_FullText=true&_pageLabel=ERICSearchResult&newSearch=true&rnd=1203489808780&searchtype=advanced

If you run the search without the full-text-available restrictions, you'll see that there are 75 DLI publications in the microfiche collection that haven't been made available as pdf's yet. According to the site, they've been digitizing the older content since last summer, and will keep it up through next year, so there's some hope that those will also be available soon.

As for copyrights, there is copyrighted material on ERIC, so the fact that a course is available for download there doesn't indicate that it is unencumbered.

The "Eric" website listed in the previous post lists a variety of other language courses produced for the Peace Corps.

Does anyone if the Peace Corps is a government organization? Would these publications be something to add to the site?

I'm pretty sure there isn't any vocabulary available with the Peace Corps courses, at least on the internet. I've never heard of them ever being sold either so I assume they were only available to Peace Corps Volunteers. If anyone knows anything more please correct me.

As for the DLI courses, I've been going through them and I've got a tentative list of the languages that have DLI courses (some only incomplete)

- Albanian
- Arabic
- Mandarin Chinese
- Czech
- French
- German
- Haitian Creole
- Indonesian
- Japanese
- Korean (advanced)
- Malay (intermediate advanced)
- Persian
- Polish
- Portuguese
- Russian
- Spanish
- Thai
