A New Group for Teaching a Foreign Language!
I have found forums for learning a few specific languages, but I was unable to find any that encompassed all who teach a second (or third, or fourth) language to children or adults. So, I've started a new one. My hope is that this general group will allow us to share ideas, resources and provide support to one another as we seek new ways to make language learning fun.
You can find the Foreign-Language-Educators Yahoo! Group here:
http://groups.yahoo.com/group/Foreign-Language-Educators/
Whether you're teaching French, German, Spanish, Chinese or any other language for that matter, join us as we explore ways to make learning a foreign language fun and effective.
