PODCASTS: Why Learn Languages?

The American Council on the Teaching of Foreign Languages (ACTFL) held a VIDEO CONTEST on this topic, and I just observed some pretty clever projects.

For instance, Nashoba Regional HS in Bolton, MA (an occasional competitor of ours in the Theaterfest at Mt Holyoke) produced a solid entry ("Going Around The World In The 21st Century") all filmed on their iPods! Too bad their sound track wasn't first rate.

(Some of the middle school kids were impressive, too.)

You don't have to register to watch them. (But you must be registered to cast a vote.)
