Kemis, Mari; Lively, Mandi
This report evaluates the activities from February 1, 1994 to May 31, 1995 of the National K-12 Foreign Language Resource Center at Iowa State University. The center's purpose is to support training of elementary and secondary school foreign language teachers. Initiatives of the center focus on professional development in three areas: use of effective teaching strategies; development and interpretation of foreign language assessment; and use of new technologies. The evaluation is based on stated objectives in each of these areas. Specific activities included 4 summer institutes with 86 foreign language educators from around the United States, a project involving 20 teachers and researchers in a collaborative effort with the Center for Applied Linguistics in researching classroom foreign language assessment practices and techniques, continuation of contact with institute and workshop participants through collaborative projects, completion of an extensive annotated bibliography of foreign language assessment instruments, and teacher training in the use of electronic mail as an effective communication tool. Stated goals in each area were met. (MSE)
