ABOUT COMPUTERS Let Your Computer Teach You To Speak a Foreign Language! Language Learning Software By Mike Angelo May 13, 1997 (C) 199 Have you ever wanted to learn a foreign language? Are you studying a foreign language now? Do you correspond with someone in a foreign country or visit a foreign country? Language-learning software can help you learn to speak and understand a foreign language. Some of this software is designed just to get you up to speed on a foreign language or just to help you get by during your foreign travels. Some is designed to help you get very proficient with a foreign language. Computers are great for language learning. Much of language learning involves repetitive drill computers are excellent for that. Self-paced drill, practice, and introduction of new words and concepts are handled very well in the computer and student environment. Native speakers of the language you study speak the words. And the computer can listen to how you speak the words and let you know how well you are pronouncing the words. The language learning software we look at today takes full advantage of the multimedia PC. Great graphics and sounds help immerse you into the language you are studying.

Edition 1 February, 2000 Inaugural Message Follow-up to Presentation by John Rosemond Why Teach Foreign Language? Trivia Question Why Teach Foreign Language? The Language Department of Queen Anne School affords students the opportunity to begin study of foreign language in the sixth grade. We believe that as the world grows smaller through the myriad of opportunities offered everyone, and society grows increasingly diverse, the necessity to be comfortable in another language becomes more important. Students new to Queen Anne study Latin I in grade 6, and may through exam elect Latin II in grade 7. Latin benefits students by giving a solid foundation in general grammar and forces students to think analytically about language. Students also gain familiarity with a similar culture that is the source of many modern institutions, and with a universally used mythology. They will be better prepared for the study of French or Spanish, which are descendants of Latin. Returning 7th grade students who do not take Latin II receive one semester of Exploratory Spanish and one semester of Exploratory French, further enabling them to make the best decision before beginning the formal study of French or Spanish in grade 8. Currently, students begin French or Spanish in grade 8. This year counts for graduation credit but does not count for the three-year requirement of one language in the Upper School (we require three years of one language or two years of two in the Upper School). By beginning the formal study of French or Spanish in grade 8, students are afforded the opportunity to pursue five levels of one language, with the fourth year as Advanced Placement French or Spanish Language and the fifth year as Advanced Placement French or Spanish Literature. The upper levels of both languages are in total immersion, further augmenting the level and opportunities for the student to advance. Increasingly, students are studying two languages simultaneously.

When Anytime. Where Anywhere that people want to learn English from a native speaker. Though only experienced, qualified teachers will be able to teach in English speaking nations or find a job in advance. For those with no qualifications, teaching jobs will have to be picked up en route to Spain, Greece etc. In some countries, teaching English is virtually the only job you will be able to find. Asia, for example, has no need of dishwashers or waiters; its own masses can fill those jobs for far less than we can survive on. Japan is a popular choice for TEFLers, and Taiwan, Thailand (a few years ago 98% of schools were reportedly prepared to take on English speakers passing through) and Hong Kong are equally keen to obtain your god given skill of speaking English. Private schools are also cropping up across the rest of China. Eastern Europe has embraced the English language, as a way to get ahead, after years of Russian lessons. In Africa and South America, like Asia, English teaching is the easiest or only chance of working..

Help EDITIONS Change to World Wednesday, 18 December, 2002, 12:30 GMT Unqualified staff to teach languages Languages can improve employment prospects The government is aiming to recruit adults without formal teaching qualifications to deliver its promise to teach foreign languages in primary schools in England. A shortage of qualified language teachers means its proposals to make language lessons available to seven-to-11 year olds will depend on using adults who are not fully qualified teachers. The strategy, which runs up to 2010, is aimed at addressing Britain's poor reputation for linguists - at the same time as the government is dropping the compulsion to study a language to GCSE level. It intends to allow youngsters in secondary schools to drop the study of a modern foreign language at the age of 14. 'No point' "I don't think there's a great deal of point in forcing people to go through the process of learning a foreign language at 14 when they really are completely switched off as I'm afraid a number of children are," the Education Secretary, Charles Clarke, said in a BBC News interview. "The people we are talking about at 14 are people who haven't got any familiarity with foreign languages at all and really aren't gaining everything from it.

Digest EDO-FL-95-07 See other ERIC Digests on foreign language education Integrating Foreign Language and Content Instruction in Grades K-8 Content-based instruction is a method of teaching foreign languages that integrates language instruction with instruction in the content areas. In this approach, the foreign language is used as the medium for teaching subject content, such as mathematics or social studies, from the regular classroom curriculum. The method is receiving increasing attention because it allows schools to combine the goals of the second language curriculum and the regular curriculum, making language learning the vehicle for strengthening general skills and knowledge. "Language is not just a medium of communication but a medium of learning across the curriculum. The goal of integration is both language learning and content learning. Content-based classrooms are not merely places where a student learns a second language; they are places where a student gains an education" (Mohan, 1986, p. 8). In content-based instruction, students become proficient in the language because the focus is on the exchange of important messages, and language use is purposeful. The language that students use comes from natural situations, such as a science unit on the solar system or a social studies lesson on the geography of a country.

52. Edutainment: How To Teach Language With Fun And Games Edutainment How to teach language with Fun and Games has been compiledfor teachers of English as a foreign or second language. http://www-writing.berkeley.edu/TESL-EJ/ej11/r10.html

Vol. 3. No. 3 R-10 September 1998 Return to Table of Contents Return to Main Page Edutainment: How to Teach Language with Fun and Games Ian E. Hewitt (1996) Tokyo: Language Direct Pp. 97 ISBN 0-9586492-0-0 (paper + audiocassette) US $34.95; Japan yen 3400 The idea of classroom games no longer meets with disapproval, so another book about language teaching games and game-like activities seems hardly to need justification. That disapproval always did have a dreary and unenterprising air about it and arose in part from lack of observation and knowledge of how pupils learnas thoroughly on occasion by means of what is called play as by means of what is called work. Nowadays many teachers believe that in foreign language learning enjoyment and success go together. The essence of many games lies in outstripping, in friendly fashion, someone else's performance, or in bettering one's own. There is a zest in trying to do this. The goal is visible and stimulating. Outdoing others, and improving on oneself, are by and large enjoyable pursuits. Enjoyable also is active cooperation with one's classmates or fellow learners. In group or team games rivalry and cooperation go hand in hand. Fun and excitement, in language-learning as in most adventures, can be profitable and very much in place. Another point about language learning has to be noticed: a language is learnt through using it, through using it in authentic situations. Disembodied words or sentences don't get learners anywhere. Parallel with the danger of monotony and boredom runs the danger of mechanical drills, the danger of blind parroting and of meaninglessness. A foreign language must be brought to life in situations by gestures, by handling or touching things, by actions and incidents, by pictures, by dramatization, by interesting stories spoken or in print, and not least by contests and games.

What is TEFL? Are there any prerequisites? Is job placement provided? Who are the instructors? ... Do I need a TEFL certificate overseas? WHAT IS A TEFL CERTIFICATE? TEFL is an acronym for Teaching English as a Foreign Language. You perhaps are familiar with the terms ESL-English as a Second Language and TESL-Teaching English as a Second Language. The difference between TEFL and TESL is that TEFL occurs in non-English speaking countries. In other words, if you are teaching an English language course to nonnative speakers in a non-English speaking country, you are Teaching English as a Foreign Language (TEFL). If you are teaching an English language course to nonnative speakers in the U.S., you are Teaching English as a Second Language (TESL). A TEFL Certificate shows that you have training and experience in Teaching English as a Foreign Language. A TEFL Certificate verifies that you have knowledge in the theory and methods pertinent to understanding second language development and how a second language should be taught. Completing the program will give you the skills along with the confidence to be a success in the ESL/EFL classroom. And lastly, a TEFL Certificate puts you above other candidates who may be looking for a job teaching English as a foreign language.

Research shows that kids' brains are especially receptive to learning a second language before the age of 10 years The first year of life is an essential time for sounds and phoneme circuitry in the brain. An immersion approach to learning a foreign language may seem unnatural to adults but is intuitive and effective for kids. KidSpeak 10-in-1 Language Learning is an effective and valuable software program. Help Your Child Learn a Foreign Language ... or Two The latest studies on the brain reveal some interesting things for parents of young children. Most of us know that children acquire a second (and even third) language more easily if taught at an early age. Adults and older children require years of study in a non-immersion program before approaching fluency in a foreign language, yet children under the age of 10 seem to more readily accept and learn these same languages. What is even more interesting and new about studies on brain development is the revelation that early exposure to more than one language actually builds a more powerful brain. It also strengthens a child's mastery and understanding of his first language. Being bilingual or multilingual has its obvious advantages in a world where communication is crucial to success.
