New Book of interest

[Benjamin Rifkin]

Dear SEELANGers:

For those interested in language program design and direction, this  
new book, the annual volume from the American Association of  
University Supervisors, Coordinators, and Directors of Foreign  
Language Programs in the series "Issues in Language Program  
Direction" (AAUSC - www.aausc.org) promises to be very interesting.

SIncerely,

Ben RIfkin


Dear AAUSC Member,
I am pleased to announce the  publication of the AAUSC 2009 Volume:  
Principles and Practices of the Standards in College Foreign Language  
Education, by Virginia M. Scott (Volume Editor).

Graduate students preparing for college-level teaching often encounter  
only superficial mention of the Standards of Foreign Language Learning  
in their methods courses and supervised teaching. Principles and  
Practices of the Standards in College Foreign Language Education  
focuses on the theoretical underpinnings and application of the  
Standards at the college level, particularly among language program  
coordinators, language and literature teachers, and graduate teaching  
assistants.

Issues in Language Program Direction Series strives to further AAUSC  
goals—improving second language instruction by developing language  
training programs, promoting research in second language acquisition,  
and establishing a forum for exchanging ideas, experiences, and  
materials among language programs.  In an effort to reach a wider  
audience and to promote the volume, we will intend to post an article  
from the volume on the AAUSC website and host a moderated forum to  
discuss the article.

Carl Blyth

Series Editor, Issues in Language Program Direction
