Title: Textbook Attempts to Preserve Indigenous Chinese Language
Body: After four years, teachers at Jiejinkou Hezhe Central School in Tongjiang, Northeast China's Heilongjiang Province, have finished a textbook for Hezhe, a language with about 4600 speakers nationwide. The language is not widely used for communication, but it is hoped that formally educating native speakers will help preserve cultural traditions such as folk tales and folk songs.

Title: French TV Online
Body: This site, recently suggested on the FLTEACH listserv, could be useful as a source for authentic teaching materials or for maintaining your own listening skills. ---- There are a number of interesting web sites for French TV shows that include video from the programs. One example is a currently popular "reality" show, Super Nanny, about a nanny who goes to help families with problem children. Generally I do not like such shows, but this has an interesting cultural twist that makes it useful for French teachers. It bring you into a real French home where you see people interacting (OK, "real" is relative and this is often a bit bizarre, but hey, it's in French). Yes there is a lot of yelling, but you also see people eating dinner, going shopping, going to the park, getting ready for school, taking a bath (private parts hidden), etc. http://www.m6.fr/html/emissions/super_nanny/index.shtml Take a look at the videos. Also, under Emissions, you might find other shows with online video. Ponterio, B. More French TV. Foreign Language Teaching Forum listserv. FLTEACH@LISTSERV.BUFFALO.EDU (16 June 2005).
