Hi Lawrence. I'm interested to know if and how computers are used in this program - for production of class materials in Yoruba for instance. In a North American or West European intensive language program, it might be that the professors use their favorite software/font combination to produce handouts, written exams, etc. But for intensive language instruction, it probably isn't necessary (certainly wasn't for Peace Corps language programs, in which I've participated in different capacities).
On the other hand, if there is any hope for distance follow-up, having a system that works and can be shared on different computers / over the internet, might be an advantage. TIA for any info...
