This collection of language teaching ideas is the result of a four-week intensive workshop held in July and August 1976 for language teachers in the Northwest. The participants, a group of secondary teachers of French, German and Spanish, attended courses in cross-cultural communication and language-teaching methodology, in which they acquired ideas about approaches and techniques in language instruction. During the fall of 1976, these teachers put into practice many of the ideas obtained during the summer workshop. They were requested to bring to the January 1977 in-service follow-up meetings one example of an instructional idea used in their classrooms, and to attach commentary which would help others profit from their experience. Sections I - IV contain examples of curriculum developed in or inspired by the course in cross-cultural communication. These sections provide: audio-motor units, cultural assimilators, "cultoons," and mini-dramas. The bibliography from this course is attached as Appendix A. Sections V and VI contain material which stems from work done in the course in language-teaching methodology. These sections concern cuisinaire rods ("algebricks") in the language classroom and personalizing language instruction. The bibliography for this course is attached as Appendix B. The final section, VII, contains units of instruction which did not fit well into any of the first six sections, but appeared to merit inclusion. (Author/CFM)
