Languages of the World
http://www.nvtc.gov/lotw/index.html Languages of the World The main purpose of this website is to provide information about the language families of the world and their most important and populous members, including their history, status, their linguistic characteristics, and their writing in as simple and concise a way as possible. We base this website on the belief that all languages have evolved from the need of human beings to express their thoughts, beliefs, and desires, that all languages meet the social, psychological, and survival needs of people who use them. In this sense, all languages, no matter how small and remote, are equal. All equally deserve study because all of them provide valuable insights into human nature. |

LiveMocha
http://www.livemocha.com/ LiveMocha is an online tool for learning a new foreign language, within a helpful network that addresses the issue of remote learning on two ends. Centering around a social network, LiveMocha lets people help other users for the purpose of learning a new language. By providing this network alongside a set of tools that have proven useful for teaching new languages, Livemocha gives you multiple ways in which to learn whatever language you’d like. LiveMocha also has in-house tutors that will help you along the way. The lack of immersion is probably among the biggest reasons why many language-learning programs (including high school and college classes) don’t work. So LiveMocha enables users to help each other with video chat tools and structured conversation exercises, and incentivizes them with competitions and a language buddy system for encouragement. The social way to learn a language. -Community. Livemocha is the first-of-its-kind online language-learning community. -Lessons. Fun and interactive lessons that move at the right pace for you. -Motivation. Track your progress and reach your goals with Livemocha tools. |

http://education.guardian.co.uk/teacherstv/story/0,,1892000,00.html Classroom management (online video) We meet Clare Hewitt, a newly qualified teacher of modern foreign languages. Clare has set working with low-ability groups as one of her targets for the year. She teaches six lessons a week to low ability classes in Year 8 and 9. During her PGCE year, Clare learned about differentiation and catering to children's preferred learning styles, but putting the theory into practice is proving more of a challenge. |
