A two-phase survey was conducted by the Center for Applied Linguistics Clearinghouse for Self-Instructional Language Materials to (1) identify modern language departments of U.S. colleges and universities using programed materials, and (2) describe the extent of the departments' use and development of such materials. A brief description of the Phase 1 questionnaire is followed by discussions of responses, programs used, characteristics of the institutions, supplementary programs, and other surveys. Results of the Phase 2 questionnaire (a copy is included in an appendix) are presented in terms of program administration, student and instructor comments, and instructor plans and attitudes. Bibliographical data are included in the footnotes. (DS)
