Copyright-Free Audio-Visual Resource Center for Japanese

Ken'ichi Ujie, Director

The Department of East Asian Languages and Literatures of Washington & Lee University established a Copyright-Free Audio-Visual Resource Center in 1998 for teachers of Japanese. This project was made possible with the support of Washington and Lee University, The Associated Colleges of the South and Middlebury College's Project 2001.

The Resource Center consists of digitized videos and still pictures that can be used by teachers of Japanese. Digitized images are for class use and for developing teaching materials of your own. All the images are copyright free and may be freely used by teachers. All the images are on one DVD. Videos contain images for teaching certain grammar and for katakana reading practice. There are approximately 680 still pictures of various sorts. The cost of the complete materials is $15.00, including postage.
