LIST OF PRODUCERS AND DISTRIBUTORS . 62 INTRODUCTION This is the third of a series of supplements to the MIASelective List of Materials, published in 1962 under contract withthe U. S. Office of Education through the National Defense Education Act. The production of these supplements has been supported by a grant fromthe Carnegie Corpo- ration of New York, since they had no government support. As their name indicates, they are intended to supplement and not toreplace the Selec- tive List of Materials. The supplements include 1) materials published since tha original List went to the printer in 1961, 2) revisions in a few of the evaluations, and3) items omitted from the original list through inadvertence. Each item has been evaluated according to criteria set up by committees which were appointed by their respective teachers associations and the Modern Language Association.For each type of itemthere are several categories of criteria and the item has been judged excellent, accept- able, or unacceptable in each of these categories.If an item is judged unacceptable as a whole, it does not appear in this supplement. The amount of current activity in the production of foreign language teaching materials may be gauged by the fact that the present supplement, which is largely made up of items produced since 1961, contains almost half as many items as were on the original 1962 List. In the left margin Arabic numerals indicate the grade or classlevel (7-9 for junior high school). When an item is considered useful at more than one grade level, each applicable level is indicated. Roman uumerals indicate language proficiency levels (I for beginners). "T" indicates materials for the teacher. The name or initials in capital letters in each entry is the code name for the producer, whose f-111 name and address arelisted in Appendix 2 on pp. 62-64. List prices are given. The names and addresses of foreign producers are also includedin this list on pp. 62-64. Materials produced in foreign countries maybe ordered directly from the producer or from an American distributor offoreign materials. Dollar prices given for such items are approximate, and they are based on quotations from variousAmerican distributors of foreign materials. Persons wishing to order from an American distributorshould get exact quotations from a particular distributorbefore ordering. A list of American distributors is given on pp. 65-69. In the notation "lEEA, 2A, 3AAU," etc., the numbers refer tothe criteria for the category of this material. The letters are the ratings given by the evaluators: E - excellent, A - acceptable, U - unacceptable. If all evaluators agree on a rating, this letter appears only once. The criteria appear in Appendix 1 on pp.51-61. We are indebted to many persons for whatever virtuesthe present supple- ment shows, to the forty-six evaluators onthe committees, whose names appear on pp. vii - ix, to Mrs.Ariadne Renko, New York University, and to Mr. James F. O'Brien,Columbia University, who were extremely helpful in the evaluation of various materials: to members of the MLA staff the Director of (Patricia A. Manes, Eileen Marron,Mary A. Stern) and to the Materials Center, JohnT. Harmon. cooperation to We wish also to express ourgratitude for their splendid evaluated here.

Since teaching materialsfor Modern Hebrew include were includedin the Selective List,it was originally planned to sent by them in this supplement aswell.Only one new text, however, was with Professor Abraham I.Katsh, publishers. Therefore, in consultation Chairman of the Modern HebrewCommittee, it was decided,in view of the paucity of the materialssubmitted, to refer teachers tobibliographies available elsewhere: periodically; available from: 1) Hebrew Abstracts, published National Association of Professorsof Hebrew Room 41, 80 WashingtonSquare East New York City, N.Y. available from: 2) A Bibliography on Teachingof Hebrew to Adults, Department of Cultureand Education of theJewish Agency 515 Park Avenue New York City, N.Y.
