New ULR for expanded Russian Language Mentor

[Bogdan Sagatov]

Greetings SEELANGSters!

The powers that be have given the Russian Language Mentor his own permanent
home in cyberspace:   http://russianmentor.net/

In response, the thankful Mentor has added two new resources to the site.
The first is the establishment of a Virtual Slavic Club, a place where
students of all ages can hang out and where they can make contributions. The
site includes a “vanity license plate challenge” with the following
rules: think up a plate that uses only Latin letters (and numbers) to spell
Russian words [HA PEMOHTE]; if your plate connects somehow with a state, you
get extra credit [Kansas KYKYPY3A].
There are many other virtual and real activities: lectures, cooking, costume
parties, parallel poetry anthology, image archive, voting for Club Officers,
etc.  Check it out and pass it on to your students! Link to examine:

Less interesting but more practical is the Country Study ePortfolio, which
consists of a generic template of questions designed to guide learners
through a study of Internet resources (webliographies) that have been
identified for a specific target country. The end product – the completed
ePortfolio assembled be the learner – will contain basic target country
information as well as a guide to useful Internet resources for future
reference and study. Webliographies are currently available for Russia and
Ukraine and more will be added in the Fall.  There is also an “Any
Country” webliography which, as its name indicates, can be used to produce
an ePortfolio of any nation in the world. Link to examine:
