"Networking with Foreign Language Colleagues: Professional Development on the Internet.
LeLoup, Jean W.; Ponterio, Robert
Northeast Conference Newsletter, n37 p6-10 Win 1995
This article describes FLTEACH, the Foreign Language Teaching Forum on the Listserv computer Internet service running from the computer at State University of New York at Buffalo. FLTEACH is a forum for communication for foreign language teachers at the elementary, secondary, and tertiary levels. Initially started for New York teachers, it has expanded into a national and international communication effort. The rationale and goals of FLTEACH are described, and its current and potential uses are outlined. It can serve as an educational helper for training and classroom preparation as well as an archive system. How to join FLTEACH, and e-mail in general, is reviewed, and actual uses are described. It is hoped that the more foreign language teachers who use FLTEACH, the more cohesion and integration the foreign language educational community will experience. Two appendixes offer on line computer and address information for networking with program developers. (Contains 14 references.) (NAV)
