LangSource LangSource is an online database of instructional resources for the teaching of culture to students in grades K-12. The project is housed at the National Foreign Language Center at the University of Maryland and supported by a grant from the International Research and Studies in the US Department of Education. The three year project identifies materials for teachers of Arabic, Chinese, German, Japanese, and Spanish as well as materials for the professional development of teachers of these languages related to teaching culture and aligned with Goal 2 of the National Standards for Foreign Language Learning. The intent of LangSource is to gather the best language learning and teaching resources available in one easily accessible and searchable database. AATG is one of the professional language associations involved in the project. KLD participates. These instructions should help you locate K-8 materials. Set the following -

At that time, as well as now, parents in German-speaking communities realized the paucity of German language and culture programs in many parts of the country. They also recognized the lack of continuous, long-term instructional programs of the German language as well as the absence of classes informing and teaching about the products and practices of the German culture. These concerns along with an urgent need for high proficiency courses for advanced, native and near-native speakers inspired these committed parents to establish private German language schools to serve their specific needs. To link these schools within a central organization for information and support, the German Consulate General in New York and the German language schools in Connecticut, New Jersey, New York, and Pennsylvania founded the German Language School Conference (GLSC) in 1977. GLSC was incorporated on April 22, 1978. GLSC has grown from five founding school members to over 30 German language schools and school clusters today. GLSC Goals:
National Network for Early Language Learning (NNELL) NNELL is an organization for educators involved in teaching foreign languages to children.
