High School Russian

[Tom Dolack]

Dear colleagues:

The newsletter for the Yamada Language Center at the U of Oregon, as well as
Lingo, the newsletter for the Northwest Council for Foreign Languages,
features an article on Russian at the High School level. While fairly short
and essentially a conglomeration of statistics and e-mailed suggestions from
HS teachers, it does put all of these in one place and it's something you
can hand to the administration to show that Russian is not a dead language.
My apologies if it makes our job seem far easier than it actually is, but I
was directed by my boss to "make it more optimistic." (My response: "I do
Russian, what were you expecting?") The article can be found at:

Click on "get your own copy" or "Lingo". While you're there, I would also
like to recommend our language links page:
http://babel.uoregon.edu/yamada/guides.html. I've done my best to make sure
the Slavic languages are well represented.

Thanks to all who helped. Vsego dobrogo,

Tom Dolack
