Title: Book: The Story of French
Body: From http://www.stmartins.com/search.html The Story of French Authors: Jean-Benoit Nadeau and Julie Barlow Publisher: St. Martin's Press Nadeau and Barlow chart the history of a language spoken as a native tongue by 130 million people around the globe. The first document written in the French was signed by the sons of Charlemagne in 832. After this, Latin was purged from the courts of France by Francois 1st, giving root to French speakers' 21st century obsession with language protection. The obsession progressed as Cardinal Richelieu established the French Academy, a group entrusted with the responsibility of keeping the language pure and eloquent. As French circled the globe, the international cast of characters included Montaigne, Catherine the Great, Frederic II of Prussia, the guides of the Lewis and Clark expedition, Jules Verne, and others. Let Nadeau and Barlow guide you through the story of a language used to write some of the world's great masterpieces of literature, construct some of the most important documents of diplomacy, bedevil millions with its vagaries of pronunciation and beguile everyone with its beauty. Visit the publisher’s site at http://www.stmartins.com/search.html . A review of this book is available at http://www.iht.com/articles/2006/12/03/features/bookmon.php .

Title: Call for Proposals for NECTFL 2008
Body: Workshop and session proposals are already being solicited for the March 27-29, 2008 Northeast Conference on the Teaching of Foreign Languages! NECTFL 2007 will be held this coming April, but it's not too early to think about making a contribution to 2008 -- it promises to be an especially exciting conference (tech playground, focus on iGeneration learners [and teachers!], the likelihood of a very famous keynoter who studies "digital natives" but who used to teach French and is now learning Japanese, a packed exhibit hall, and a diverse and exciting program as always). The conference will once again be held in NYC. If you'd like to propose a 75-minute session or a 3-, 6-, or 12-hour (two day) workshop, please go to the following webpage and be sure to submit your form by May 15, 2007: http://www.nectfl.net/proposal/proposal.cfm .

Title: Developing Useful Evaluation Practices in College Foreign Language Programs
Body: From http://nflrc.hawaii.edu/prodev/si07d 2007 NFLRC Summer Institute Developing Useful Evaluation Practices in College Foreign Language Programs University of Hawai‘i at Manoa, Honolulu, HI May 28 - June 6, 2007 This NFLRC Summer Institute is designed to help college foreign language administrators and teachers engage in useful, practical, and effective program evaluations to meet a variety of purposes. It takes seriously the values, goals, and constraints that characterize college language programs and will provide language educators with a user-oriented approach to developing evaluations that maximize benefits for language learners and teachers, while minimizing potential negative consequences. It will also provide participants with tools and strategies for making program evaluation a systematic and consistently useful component of their FL departments. The Institute will be run by Dr. John M. Norris (UH Dept. of Second Language Studies), an expert in language program evaluation and assessment. Activities over the 9-day institute will include lectures and demonstrations, in-depth analyses of practical evaluation examples, invited guest speakers (language evaluation experts), social events, and extensive hands-on development and discussion of evaluation plans, procedures, and instruments for immediate use in the participants’ specific program settings. This workshop is intended for foreign language administrators and teachers who are directly responsible for program evaluations in their foreign language departments. It assumes no prior grounding in program evaluation theory or practice, but it requires a willingness to help increase evaluation capacity in college FL education. In order to maximize the impact of this event across U.S. colleges, participants will be purposefully selected to represent diverse FL program types, based on size, languages taught, geography, and institutional status. Some financial support is available to all participants in the NFLRC Summer Institute, on a competitive and space-limited basis. Summer Institute participants will be expected to participate in the 2007 ADFL Summer Seminar West, which will directly follow the workshop on the University of Hawai‘i at Manoa campus. For more information, visit our website at http://nflrc.hawaii.edu/prodev/si07d .
