Title: TPRS Teachers Needed-French and German
Body: From: "George and Jena Williams"
We are losing two great teachers and want to find TPRS teachers to replace them.
The French program has had a terrific TPRS teacher who has built the program to full time. The district wants to see it continue to grow with the idea of adding fourth year AP.
The German position is part time so another certification area will be necessary. This has not been a TPRS program, but the administration is very pleased with our TPRS results and would be happy to see it go that way.
Because there is only one French and German teacher, they will have great freedom to design their programs.
The adminstration and foreign language department is very supportive-even if I do say so myself. We have a lot of fun working together and growing from each other's ideas.
If interested, or if you know of someone, plese contact me. I will get you info on pay etc.

Title: Why, How, and When Should Children Learn a Second Language?
Body: From: Center for Applied Linguistics Why, How, and When Should Children Learn a Second Language? http://cal.org/resources/news/2003fall/why.html Language and communication are at the heart of the human experience. The United States must educate students who are equipped linguistically and culturally to communicate successfully in a pluralistic American society and abroad. This imperative envisions a future in which ALL students will develop and maintain proficiency in English and at least one other language. (National Standards in Foreign Language Education Project, 1999, p. 7) Much attention has been focused on the importance of early foreign language learning. Some research reports that younger children have a greater chance of gaining native-like proficiency in a language than older children or adults. With so many demands already placed on children, parents and educators ask if it is important that children learn a second language at a young age. If so, why? What program options are available? What can parents and educators do? Continue the article at: http://cal.org/resources/news/2003fall/why.html

Title: STAMP 2 pilot update: A reward for participation
Body: From: "Sachiko Kamioka"
The Center for Applied Second Language Studies (CASLS) once again would like to invite Japanese teachers to participate in the pilot study of STAMP 2, integrated online proficiency assessment of all four skills.
As a reward for your participation in the pilot and answering a short survey at the end of the pilot, we would like to provide you with a free 2004/2005 academic year subscription to ClassPak, Language Learning Solution's online proficiency-based instruction and assessment tool.
http://www.onlinells.com/onlinells/products/classpak/
We hope STAMP 2 will contribute to the field by making proficiency
assessment easy and affordable. The first step is to verify the items to ensure that they are reliable and valid. We welcome you to review STAMP 2 and consider giving the test to your students as a part of our pilot. The pilot will continue till the end of FEBURUARY.
TO TAKE A LOOK AT STAMP 2:
1. From your Internet browser, go to http://www.languageassessment.net
2. Log in using user name: pilotv4-test and password: 3210
IMPORTANT NOTE:
- This user name is *NOT* FOR YOUR STUDENTS TO TAKE THE TEST. You need to contact us to get user names for your students.
- This user name will give you access to items at Novice-high and
Intermediate-low level only.
If you encounter any technical problems, go to the Computer Compatibility Test Page at http://www.languageassessment.net/language/japanesecheck/
3. To see test result page, log off and log back in using user name:
pilotv4-teacher and password 7415
In addition to helping the field develop a better way to measure student performance, having your students participate in the pilot will help them understand what they have to do to be proficient in Japanese.
STAMP 2 is innovative both pedagogically and technically. Real-life tasks assess interpretive and presentational modes in the national standards. The interpretive section (listening and reading) is computer adaptive and its results become available immediately after test. Presentational mode (speaking and writing) sections are graded by human graders. The test uses streaming video and technology to record and deliver sound files over the Internet. To take the test, students just need a recent browser and Quicktime, both of which are installed many of computers or can be downloaded for free. In this pilot, we would like to get data on listening, reading, and speaking items from Novice-Mid to Intermedite-High. If you are interested, please email us at jppilot@darkwing.uoregon.edu.
Spanish STAMP 2 is also being piloted. Spread your word to your Spanish colleagues.They can email us at sppilot@darkwing.uoregon.edu.

Title: wwwtools access for all readers from Romania
Body: From:
wwwtools - themes and trends for 2004
Date: Sunday, January 11, 2004 11:31 AM
Dear wwwtools subscriber,
Last week we announced the idea of "sponsoring a country" and this week we announce our first sponsor.
Tom Nickel from the Utah State University is sponsoring wwwtools access for all readers from Romania. Each person with a Romanian email address will get notification that Tom is sponsoring a year's access to wwwtools.
You (or your institution) can sponsor a country's email addresses. It need not be a country. It could be some other identifiable email address. This is an excellent way for your institution to promote itself and in the process help education. Reply to this email to find out more.
Take a look at the trends for 2004.
