| Title | GLOSS: Reading and Writing Lessons |
| Body | From http://gloss.lingnet.org GLOSS offers over 1100 reading and listening lessons in 12 languages. The lesson database is searchable in 5 different ways: Language - GLOSS currently offers lessons across 12 languages. The current selections includes: Albanian, Arabic, Chinese, Croatian, Dari, Greek, Indonesian, Korean, Persian, Russian, Serbian and Spanish. New languages are being added every year. For 2007, expect to see Dari, Pashto, Thai as well as others. Proficiency Level - GLOSS offers materials at ILR levels 2 through 3+/4. Not all levels are available for all languages. For instance, 3+/4 is only available in Spanish. Skill/Modality - Within the system there are lessons for both the reading and listening skills. Most languages have both types of lessons, but there are generally more reading materials available than listening. Each reading lesson does; however, contain an audio version of the source text. Topic - GLOSS organizes the materials into ten content/topical domains: culture, economy, environment, geography, military, politics, science, society, and technology. Competence - All of the GLOSS lessons are categorized into one of three primary competencies: lexical (vocabulary), structure (grammar), and discourse (devices that bind texts, conversations, etc.). Additionally, all lessons address the socio-cultural competence through teacher notes and the like. Search for lessons at http://gloss.lingnet.org/searchResources.aspx . |
