It was realized early on that the languages of Europe constitute an essential part of the European cultural heritage. Therefore, the Council has long seen the promotion of language teaching and learning as one of its major priority areas. The Council of Europe started work in language learning/teaching in the late 1950s with the specification of a basic grammar and vocabulary for French and an audiovisual course for adults learning French. Then in the 1970‟s, their work led to the development of the functional-notional syllabuses, the Threshold level, and then the birth of the communicative approach. The ideas behind these have been taken up and revised outside the context of their original development, but it was the Council of Europe that set the context.

    Ronald Davis Oral History Collection on the Performing Arts

    Oral History Collection on the Performing Arts in America Southern Methodist University The Southern Methodist University Oral History Program was begun in 1972 and is part of the University’s DeGolyer Institute for American Studies. The goal is to gather primary source material for future writers and cultural historians on all branches of the performing arts- opera, ballet, the concert stage, theatre, films, radio, television, burlesque, vaudeville, popular music, jazz, the circus, and miscellaneous amateur and local productions. The Collection is particularly strong, however, in the areas of motion pictures and popular music and includes interviews with celebrated performers as well as a wide variety of behind-the-scenes personnel, several of whom are now deceased. Most interviews are biographical in nature although some are focused exclusively on a single topic of historical importance. The Program aims at balancing national developments with examples from local history. Interviews with members of the Dallas Little Theatre, therefore, serve to illustrate a nation-wide movement, while film exhibition across the country is exemplified by the Interstate Theater Circuit of Texas. The interviews have all been conducted by trained historians, who attempt to view artistic achievements against a broad social and cultural backdrop. Many of the persons interviewed, because of educational limitations or various extenuating circumstances, would never write down their experiences, and therefore valuable information on our nation’s cultural heritage would be lost if it were not for the S.M.U. Oral History Program. Interviewees are selected on the strength of (1) their contribution to the performing arts in America, (2) their unique position in a given art form, and (3) availability.

    INFORMATION TO USERS This reproduction was made from a copy of a document sent to us for microfilming. While the most advanced technology has been used to photograph and reproduce this document, the quality of the reproduction is heavily dependent upon the quality of the material submitted. The following explanation of techniques is provided to help clarify markings or notations which may appear on this reproduction. 1.The sign or “target” for pages apparently lacking from the document photographed is “Missing Page(s)”. If it was possible to obtain the missing page(s) or section, they are spliced into the film along with adjacent pages. This may have necessitated cutting through an image and duplicating adjacent pages to assure complete continuity. 2. When an image on the film is obliterated with a round black mark, it is an indication of either blurred copy because of movement during exposure, duplicate copy, or copyrighted materials that should not have been filmed. For blurred pages, a good image of the page can be found in the adjacent frame. If copyrighted materials were deleted, a target note will appear listing the pages in the adjacent frame. 3. When a map, drawing or chart, etc., is part of the material being photographed, a definite method of “sectioning” the material has been followed. It is customary to begin filming at the upper left hand comer of a large sheet and to continue from left to right in equal sections with small overlaps. If necessary, sectioning is continued again-beginning below the first row and continuing on until complete.

    FROM PASTOR DAVE… I Don’T Know About You but Every Once in a While I Get This Overwhelming Feeling That I Have to Start Getting Into Shape Again

    501 NW 16th Street, Grand Rapids, Minnesota 55744 (218) 326-8508 www.saintand.org November 2016 FROM PASTOR DAVE… I don’t know about you but every once in a while I get this overwhelming feeling that I have to start getting into shape again. I know that I might be overly optimistic by even thinking that it’s still possible, but hey – you’ve got to give me some credit! After all “it’s the thought that counts.” And yet, I realize that I have to do more than think about getting into shape, I’ve got to do something too. I’ve got to start getting into shape physically. I’ve been pondering this for some time. My daughter lovingly reminds me that I haven’t lost the measly 4 pounds I wanted to lose about a year ago. About a month ago, I had a sort of wakeup call when my brother Peter had a heart attack and then triple bypass surgery. He’s the closest living thing to me physically and genetically. Both male. Both products of our mom and dad. Yes, I received that wake up call, but will I get up and answer the call? I’m recommitting to eating smaller portions, and not checking out what may be in the church kitchen when I get the munchies. Whenever possible, I’m going home for lunch, and spending time exercising on my NordicTrack ski machine. (I prefer “exercising” to “working out.” The latter sounds too much like work.) It takes about a couple of hours in the middle of my day, to get home, change, exercise, shower, grab a sandwich and get back to the church.

    Reviews Comptes rendus METHODS THAT WORK: A SMORGASBORD OF IDEAS FOR THE LANGUAGE TEACHER John W. Oller, Jr. and Patricia A. Richard-Amato (Eds.), Rowley, Mass: Newbury House, 1983 It seems odd to observe that the field ofsecond language teaching is in something of a crisis in methodology when we consider the numbers of new methods texts that appear each year. Having, for the most part, left audiolingualism and a purely structure-based cognitive code methodol­ ogy behind to embrace a communicative approach, we are still searching for systematic ways to describe and embody communicative language teaching. The stress in the seventies laid on notions and functions has not left us much further ahead, for many programmes simply adopted a synthetic list of functions that replaced earlier lists of structures; this development did not necessarily entail a change in methodology. Conse­ quently, the publication ofa text called Methods That Work could well be the answer to our prayers, whether or not it intended to address a perceived crisis in methodology. Oller and Richard-Amato have presented, in Methods That Work, a valuable, stimulating and intentionally controversial collection ofover 30 papers that delivers what its subtitle promises: "a smorgasbord of ideas for the language teacher." This text displays an extraordinary breadth of programmes, methods, "orientations," and techniques that, in the edi­ tors' estimation, "work." The discussions range from methods like Cur­ ran's Counseling-Learning and Lozanov's suggestopedia, to orientations that stress an authoritarian role for the teacher or one focusing on social change (Freire) to techniques like Graham's jazz chants or Condon's treasure hunts.
