Dear Jack,

I am an assistant professor of Spanish and German, as well as teach
language acquisition and ESL.  My interest is in language acquisition,
particularly in adults, and in using CALL materials.  I would be very
interested in reviewing this beta version of a program.  I have had
experience in evaluating computer language programs, and have written a
review of Spanish for Business Purposes, a beta program put out by the
State Dept. of Eduation.  You can reach me at:
