| Title | New Resource: K-12 Gateway to the Less Commonly Taught Languages |
| Body | The UCLA Language Materials Project (LMP) has launched an abundant new site for elementary and secondary foreign language teachers, the K-12 Gateway to the Less Commonly Taught Languages. The core of the site is a complete set of downloadable lesson plans and supplementary materials for teaching a first year language class. Written in English, the plans can be adapted to any language and grade level. Pilot-tested by K-12 teachers from Anchorage to Virginia, the site offers easy navigation to a wealth of information. In addition to the lessons, there is a section on curriculum design, standards, and proficiency-based teaching. A resource section offers links to national Language Resource Centers, language teachers associations, teachers' forums, assessment guides, and professional development opportunities. The K-12 Gateway resides within the larger Language Materials Project website. Gateway visitors are only a click away from the language profiles and authoritative bibliography of teaching materials for which the LMP has been known since 1992. The LMP has augmented the bibliography with detailed citations of several hundred items for younger audiences. Try out the Gateway at www.lmp.ucla.edu/K-12 |
