Title: From the Editor
Body: This week, I would like to share an inspirational message from FLTEACH. - Your Editor I'm about to start my second year in the H.S. classroom after years of absence and am very much looking forward to it. That first year was rough and kept me silent on FLTEACH (though I did read the postings) since I spent all my time writing curriculum, planning lessons, concentrating on classroom management, etc. etc.... To everybody about to begin their own classroom experience: You will be exhausted all the time and your emotions will often take a roller coaster ride, but hang in there! Teaching IS worth the hard work and hassles. There is nothing more exciting than seeing the thrill on the faces of students who realize they are actually able to communicate, to do something with the language...! A comment from one of my freshmen (a very good student) that still makes me smile: "If we go to France this summer, we know just enough to be 'dangerous,' don't we?" Shackelford, S. Re: Fun with Grammar/Language. Foreign Language Teaching Forum listserv. FLTEACH@LISTSERV.BUFFALO.EDU (31 Jul. 2004).

Title: Japanese Student Work Online
Body: The following site has many student writing samples from students of Japanese. As the owner of the site warns, "Some were proofread, some were not." From: http://www.fumikotachibana.com/studentswork.htm Internet sharing is most powerful to let other people know what you are doing with your students. Even friends nearest you or teachers in the same working place do not know what you are doing in the classroom. I believe that we can be more open using the internet. Otherwise, no one really cares. Why being open is good? Because we can make the students learning opportunity more productive, students love to see their work on line, I believe, and above all they want your feedback! Tachibana, F. (2004). Students e-work. Zen & Art of Traveling. http:// www.fumikotachibana.com/studentswork.htm (2 Aug. 2004).

Title: ASL specialist Conference, Oct 22-23
Body: From: http://www.aslta.org/Wkps/Oct22.htm Registration form available at this site. The Conference, The Road to Success: ASL is the Key!, will be a two-day event held October 21st & 22nd , 2004 at Saint Paul College in St. Paul, Minnesota. The ASL specialist position is currently a fast growing job. There are not many formal educational training programs for ASL specialists and many ASL specialists are learning these roles on the job. ASL specialists are surviving with the lack of resources and support for ASL, focusing on first language students. There are plenty of resources available for the interpreters and people learning ASL as a foreign language. This conference will be an excellent place to meet other ASL specialists. This is a golden opportunity for ASL specialists to gather more resources, ideas and information for their specific needs, focusing on Deaf students learning ASL as their first language. The conference will include keynote speakers, workshops, light breakfasts, luncheons, afternoon breaks and forums. A night of entertainment will also be included. Metro Deaf School is proud to host a conference for ASL specialists in America for the first time ever. Our sponsors are Minnesota ASLTA, National ASLTA, and CAEBER (Center for ASL/English Bilingual Education and Research).

Title: Teaching about Acadia, Canada
Body: This being the 400th anniversary of French settlement in Canada, I made an educational tour for myself from l'Ile Ste Croix, where Champlain and de Mons spent that first terrible winter, to Grand Pre N. S., to Cheticamp, N.S. and to the reconstructed fortress at Louisbourg, N.S.. There were lots of other places I missed, mostly in New Brunswick, but maybe next time! I read the wonderful Pelagie-la-Charette by Antonine Maillet at our campsites, and listened to cassettes of Zachary Richard and Barrachois, from P.E.I. as we drove. A great trip, but on my return, I find myself wondering how I can interest middle schoolers in the Acadian story. I have an Acadian flag, and some postersand I though I might like to try a "Where is Acadia" lesson, somehow using them along with maps. There is one song on Z. Richard's Coeur Fidele album, "Contre Vents, Contre Marees" that is grammatically accessible, but I wonder if anyone has done any kind of a unit, or has ideas. I have pictures and realia, and pretty good understanding of the details, but what of all this is worth sharing with kids?? Noyes, J. 400th anniversary of Acadia. Foreign Language Teaching Forum listserv. FLTEACH@LISTSERV.BUFFALO.EDU (4 Aug. 2004). A reply to this message: There is a short unit on L'Acadie in En Voyage, the Glencoe French 3 book on pages 24-27. There is a history of Acadia (in French), some related vocabulary, some "exercices", a long reading passage on Acadian hospitality (in French), comprehension questions, and some pictures and activities.
