Title: Professional Development Opportunity for Secondary Teachers
Body: From: "Maki Watanabe"
/senseionline@yahoogroups.com
I am sorry that this is only for teachers in Alabama, California, Indiana,Kentucky, Michigan, Missouri, Texas and West Virginia in the U.S. But I believe that it will be a great advocacy opportunity to promote importance of learning Japanese to and gain more supports from your colleagues teaching other than Japanese language, such as social studies, fine arts, geography and so on.
I'd appreciate it if you could hand this information to your colleagues and any other teachers in the above mentioned states who are not familiar with Japan.
Thank you,
Watanabe

Title: Student Motivation - A Teacher's Perspective
Body: From: NCLRC STEPHANIE'S DIARY: These are the true diary entries of a high school French teacher in the Cleveland, Ohio area. Dear Diary, Motivation. Student motivation. To what extent can I create and sustain a desire for my students to want to learn? The challenge inherent in this question was perhaps what an administrator was touching on many years ago when he asked me, Do you see yourself teaching French to high school kids, or high school kids French? At the time, I thought the question asking whether course content or the student was more important rather inane. Perhaps because I have now returned to the classroom, the issue seems fresh and relevant. Link: http://www.nclrc.org/caidlr76.htm#steph
