United States Armed Forces Institute language instruction collection [sound recording]. 1942-1945.

Established in 1942 at Madison, Wis., the United States Armed Forces Institute was known as the Army-Navy school with the world campus. Of their many endeavors to educate military personnel, the various language instruction programs created and produced by the Linguistic Society of America and the Intensive Language Program of the American Council of Learned Societies for the USAFI were highly successful. The booklets and sound recordings made during the World War II years served as a model for later, commercial, language instruction.
