I've been asked a nebulous, but interesting question.  Our language 
majors and grad students will soon head out to teach Spanish, French, 
Japanese, etc., mostly at high school and college levels.  What 
technologies, modalities and media should they be aware of, as 
possible aids to teaching?  What words, names and terms should they 
recognize and understand, when they are interviewed, when they 
discuss teaching with colleagues, when their future Language Lab 
Directors offer them services?

This is a list of things they should be aware of, not one for 
proficiency nor personal experience.  Below are some of my thoughts 
for list items, in no particular order.  I would appreciate your 
additions.  If you mail me off-list, I will post a compilation after 
a few days, of all the items that I have received.

Thanks,

Derek
