Subject: [Edling] Invitation to Participate in an SLA Survey

Dear Colleague,

This letter invites you to participate in a short (20 minute) survey
of the content of courses titled Second Language Acquisition.

If you previously taught or are currently teaching a Second Language
Acquisition (SLA) course at either the graduate or undergraduate level
anywhere in the world, you are invited to participate in a survey
entitled ?The Nature of Second Language Acquisition Courses?.  The
study is being conducted by Elaine K. Horwitz and Hayriye Kayi-Aydar
of the University of Texas at Austin, Foreign Language Education
Program.

The purpose of this study is to understand the content of Second
Language Acquisition (SLA) courses offered in different programs and
provide an empirically-based foundation for future development of
these courses. Your participation in this survey will contribute to a
better understanding of what many are already doing and offer guidance
in future decisions.

If you volunteer to participate in this study, please click on the
following link to complete the on-line survey, which should take no
longer than 20 minutes to complete. Further information about the
study is available on the survey website.

If you have any questions or would like us to contact another person
from your institution, please send an email to
hkayi at mail.utexas.edu<http://us.mc1114.mail.yahoo.com/mc/compose?to=hkayi@mail.utexas.edu>
You may also request a hard copy of the survey instrument from the
contact information above.

Please feel free to forward this message to your colleagues who might
be interested in participating.

Thank you.

Tory councillor dubs Gaelic "dead" language

A Tory councillor is under fire after a "dreadful" attack on the
Gaelic language.

John Charteris (pictured left) told members of the education committee
on Thursday afternoon that the money the government is pumping into
Gaelic should be diverted to improve modern language teaching
<http://www.dgstandard.co.uk/dumfries-news/##>  across the country.
