Title: French culture in elementary classes
Body: This email is in response to a request for ideas regarding teaching French culture to elementary-age students: I think you should stay away from the French Revolution. I tried it several years ago, and a parent confronted me saying that his son had nightmares about the guillotine! My first graders (6 and 7 year olds) love -- absolutely love -- my unit on the Eiffel Tower. My third graders learn about Monet. My fourth graders learn about Degas. My fifth graders do a unit on castles and medieval life. There's lots of stuff on the internet. Moyer, C. (20 Jul. 2004). Re: Culture in elementary school. Foreign Language Teaching Forum listserv.

Title: Accelerated Learning resources
Body: I have spent a considerable amount of time over the past month or so hunting down the best and most relevant books on accelerated learning in general and how it can be used in MFL teaching in particular.

Title: German: Museum of Rock and Roll
Body: Europe's first rock and pop museum opens in Gronau Website: http://www.rock-popmuseum.de/ Rammstein, Nena, Toten Hosen and Einsturzende Neubauten: Apart from a handful of artists who have made the leap to wider stardom without sacrificing their language, Germany isn't known for being a hotbed of rock and pop music. That changed earlier this week, at least in terms of the music sanctioned by history, when the first European museum to tackle the ever-changing whims of 20th century popular music opened in Gronau, Germany, a small town between Muenster and the Netherlands border. The museum's exhibitions take a light-hearted look at 20th century music, from the popular street tunes of the early part of the century to the thumping techno beats of today. And like many museums that are recognizing pop culture's place in modern history, the Rock'n'pop museum acknowledges that artists beyond Bach and Beethoven are worthy of preservation for posterity. Apart from typical museum fare that includes timelines of pop music history as well as documents and memorabilia left by long-gone stars, the exhibitions hold true to the museum's hands-on approach to experiencing music. One room features the thumping beats and lighting of dance clubs that help ravers reach a trance-like consciousness. Another room not for the wary of rhythm allows the visitor to experiment with various types of drums and percussion instruments. The museum aims not to be just a storehouse for artifacts but also place where music is made. Just outside of the museum, the legendary sound studio used by influential 1970s Cologne rockers CAN has been rebuilt, not just to serve as a museum, but to act as an operating studio for visiting musicians. Pop may be on display, but the museum will also be a meeting of high- and low-brow music, hosting scholars and musicians from the nearby Dutch Conservatory of the Saxion Hogeschool and the Department of Musical Education from the University of Muenster's Institute of Musicology. While the Rockn'popmuseum makes every attempt to offer an international view of popular culture, an admirable effort that spans countries and continents, it has a decidedly European feel, with many acts on display that wouldn't register with most U.S. audiences. But don't think that the museum's location makes it a reflection of German pop music alone. Perhaps the most interesting aspect of the museum is that it captures some of the foreign musical icons of their age by reflecting on their time in Germany. The king of rock and roll Elvis Presley is represented by the uniform that he wore while stationed in Germany as a soldier. Also on display are memorabilia from the Beatles, whose front man John Lennon once said that he "grew up in Hamburg, not in Liverpool." The Fab Four performed at clubs throughout the German city's Reeperbahn night-life district before hitting it big internationally in 1962.

Title: German: Sports
Body: Olympic team aims for top-five finish Germany has set its sights on a top-five finish in the overall medal count at the upcoming Summer Games in Athens, officials from the country's NOK Olympic Committee said Monday. "We placed third in the standings in Atlanta and fifth in Sydney," NOK chief Klaus Steinbach told reporters. "That should be our declared goal again this year." Steinbach said Germany will send 452 athletes to Athens, among them seven-time kayaking gold medallist Birgit Fischer, cyclist Jan Ullrich and swimmers Franziska van Almsick and Thomas Rupprath. The 254-man, 198-woman delegation also includes the country's European champion handball squad and its World Cup-winning women's soccer team. Track and field's 79-athlete contingent will be the largest in the German team- though observers give the Germans only slim chances of winning a medal in the sport. German athletes are expected to make the podium in sports ranging from rowing and kayaking to field hockey and fencing, possibly helping the country to reverse a steady decline in its overall medal count showing. At the 1988 Games in Seoul, West and East Germany won a combined total of 142 medals. Four years later, a united German team claimed 82 medals in Barcelona, followed by 65 in Atlanta and 56 in Sydney. Yet even more important than its medal count is Germany's clean and fair image, said Steinbach of the NOK. "We want to present a good picture of our country," he said.

Title: Speech recording assessment tool available online
Body: Staff at San Diego State University's Language Acquisition Resource Center have developed an online speech test authoring and administration tool, "LARCStar," the LARC Speech Test Authoring Resource; it is available to any interested party, without expense. The speech recording tool uses ActiveX technologies, and is available as open source code. The primary development goal was to provide an online speech testing tool which could be used with ease and without any requirement of computer expertise on the part of the faculty member who composes and administers the test, or the student who takes it. LARCStar requires that the student computer be a PC. Though the software seems very robust, this should be considered a beta version. For further information, please look at http://larctest.sdsu.edu/larcstar.htm On this site you will find a link to a user's manual, which will give you a very full description of LARCStar, if you should wish additional detail. There is also a link for downloading the materials. LARCStar was developed by a team which includes Robin Park, Marcia Ledezman Macias, and Chester Kim, with support from LARC's director, Mary Ann Lyman Hager, very gratefully acknowledged. I will be happy to respond to questions about LARCStar, sent to me at wstrombe@mail.sdsu.edu. Please be aware, though, that I will be on vacation until August 16, and won't be able to answer queries until I return. Stromberg, W.

Body: From: http://www.learner.org/resources/series185.html Teaching Foreign Languages K12 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 K12 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 ACTFLs 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. ISBN: 1-57680-731-2
