Latest theories, systems and designs of native language-driven foreign 
language teaching

Dear All,

I'm pleased to release a document studying theories, systems and 
designs of native language-driven foreign language learning.

Key points:

''L1-driven L2 teaching'' is a method which lets a browser extension 
insert foreign language micro-lessons into the native language Web 
page you're browsing. It can be further divided into two paradigms:

(1) ''Topic-oriented teaching'' is to insert foreign language micro-
lessons relevant to the topic of the Web page you're browsing.

(2) ''Word-oriented teaching'' is to insert foreign language micro-
lessons, each specifically targeting a certain word of the Web page 
you're browsing.

Obviously, word-oriented teaching will involve word sense 
disambiguation (a technique in natural language processing and 
machine translation), while topic-oriented teaching doesn't.

Both will be the future of second language teaching. Read the 
complete document:

The LINGUIST List is under the umbrella of Eastern Michigan University and as 
such can receive donations through the EMU Foundation, which is a registered 
501(c) Non Profit organization. Our Federal Tax number is 38-6005986. These 
donations can be offset against your federal and sometimes your state tax
return (U.S. tax payers only). For more information visit the IRS Web-Site,
or contact your financial advisor.

Many companies also offer a gift matching program, such that they will match 
any gift you make to a non-profit organization. Normally this entails your 
contacting your human resources department and sending us a form that the 
EMU Foundation fills in and returns to your employer. This is generally a
simple administrative procedure that doubles the value of your gift to
LINGUIST, without costing you an extra penny. Please take a moment to check if
your company operates such a program.

Thank you very much for your support of LINGUIST!
