Body
From: http://www.learner.org/resources/series185.html

Teaching Foreign Languages K–12 is a video library illustrating effective
instruction and assessment strategies for teaching foreign languages. The
language classrooms shown in this library include Spanish, French, German,
Japanese, Italian, Latin, Russian, and Chinese. All classroom videos are
subtitled in English and are appropriate for K–12 teachers of any foreign
language.

Created in conjunction with the American Council on the Teaching of Foreign
Languages (ACTFL), the library includes a 30-minute introduction and 60-
minute overviews of ACTFL’s Standards for Foreign Language Learning and
new assessment practices, as well as 27 classroom programs. In the half hour
classroom programs, teachers from schools across the country model
interpersonal, interpretive, and presentational modes of communication
throughout a range of grade and competency levels. Concepts of culture,
comparisons, connections to students’ lives, and the importance of community
are also integrated into the lessons. A Web site and print guide accompany
the video programs, providing a complete professional development
experience.

Produced by WGBH Educational Foundation with the American Council on
the Teaching of Foreign Languages. 2003.
