<br>Subject: Videos we use in classes
<br>
<br>I'd like to request the assistance of all of you on ADS-L with the next
<br>issue of the ADS Teaching Newsletter (an insert in the NADS, appearing once
<br>or twice a year).  I'd like to know from as many of you as possible what
<br>VIDEOS you've actually been using in your language-related classes.
<br>
<br>If you are pressed for time, you can just fill in the following template:
<br>
<br>TITLE OF YOUR COURSE:
<br>
<br>STUDENT LEVEL:  (high school, college freshman, sophomore-junior, senior,
<br>graduate)
<br>
<br>***and for EACH video you use:
<br>TITLE:
<br>PUBLISHER: (the production company, if you know it)
<br>ORDERING INFO: (where the video is ordered from, and the price if you know
<br>it)
<br>SUBJECT MATTER: (in a couple of sentences, what's on the tape).
<br>
<br>IF YOU HAVE A LITTLE MORE TIME, I'd appreciate hearing from you, in a
<br>paragraph or three, what scenes you particularly call your students'
<br>attention to, and why those scenes are important to your teaching goals in
<br>the course.
<br>
<br>I'll be compiling your responses until March 23 (at which point I have to
<br>write them up and send them on to NADS).    I hope you can find a little
<br>time between now and then to respond.
<br>
<br> I particularly like to thank Bethany Dumas for giving me the inspiration
<br>for this topic with her recent post about "Yeah you rite!"
<br>
<br>Keep in in mind too, that you and any of your colleagues are invited to
<br>submit items to the _Teaching Newsletter_ any time.   In the past we've
<br>published reviews of textbooks and other classroom supplements, as well as
<br>short articles (1500 words or so) on teaching methods, course design, and
<br>other language-teaching-related topics.
<br>
<br>Thanks for your help.
