The Peace Corps trains in small groups using Host County Nationals as teachers. They usually write their own course. It is the immersion method - memorize dialog, memorize lists. \n\n(I have one chicken.\nI have two chickens.\nI have three chickens.\n. . .)\n\n(I was born in June.\nI was born in July.\n. . .)\n\n(Is that snake dangerous?\nIs that lizard dangerous?\nIs that fish dangerous?\nIs that insect dangerous?\nIs that snake good to eat?\nIs that lizard good to eat?\n. . .)\n\nThe teachers are generally the secondary school language teachers - the equivalent of high-school English teachers in the USA. I suspect you are looking for a course on tape or CD.

Concordia language Villages have total immersion summer camps for children and teens.  During the school year they do weekend immersions for adults and school groups.  There are language schools in Latin America where you can study at the language school and live with a host family. (Cuernavaca has one I believe.) Your local university probably has an overseas study department, and they may have information on several that you can go to without becoming a student at that university.

Ohio State claims to have the most extensive program of African languages in the U.S., including instruction in Swahili, Zulu, Twi, Shona, Hausa and Yoruba.  I don't think they offer every language all the time, but I know Swahili at least is offered regularly.  The link below should provide more detail.

I did a postgrad course at INALCO in Paris. The standard was abysmal, free thought was frowned upon. A very good level of French is necessary just to sign up and go through all the bureaucracy before classes even start. Don't expect them to accept your foreign qualifications without a lot of messing around either.

I served in the DR; just got back a little over a year ago.  I looked at Peace Corps in part as an alternative to grad school (I'm not much of a student, honestly), but it's great preparation for both further schooling and a career.  PC can use your language skills, and can train you for one of their programs depending on where you're sent.  The PC experience gave me so much more than what I gave up to do it.  You'll learn things and meet people on the microcosmic scale...intimately changing each other's lives.  PC is not a big development program that goes in and plops down a school, aqueduct, or latrines without the participation of the people who will use them, and then leaves the project to decay from neglect.  Because volunteers partner with host country nationals, working on what *they* need and want, the project has a much better chance of sustainability.  If you can handle unstructured, figure-it-out-yourself work, and not a few frustrating or boring moments, go for it....because all the friendships and local successes will be more than worth it.
