I will be most grateful for any leads as I begin a search for online learning systems. Most urgently I am seeking programs for teaching Mandarin to 6-12 graders? Ideally the same program would also allow for the study of other languages (Arabic, Hebrew, Italian, Russian, etc.). Our first ambition, however, is to create a "blended" learning classroom where Mandarin students could advance at their own pace using the computer and at the same time could benefit from the presence of a Mandarin teacher while in the classroom. For the languages other than Mandarin the students would not have a qualified teacher in the room, simply a proctor--in other words, these would be completely online learning experiences.
Thank you in advance!
