Date: 03-Mar-2012 From: Ziyuan Yao <yaoziyuangmail.com> Subject: Latest Developments in L1-Driven L2 Teaching E-mail this message to a friend 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.

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.
