Subject: #8711.2 (!) "shell" for reading text

GALT (Glossing Authentic Language Texts) was an IBM-based template 
developed by Mary Ann Lyman-Hager;  she was at Penn State then, but 
is now Director of the Language Acquisition Resource Center (LARC) at 
San Diego State ([log in to unmask]).  She created GALT versions 
of 21 French texts -- poems, songs, stories, the first chapter 
of  Une Vie de Boy -- which are (were?) sold by Wiley & Sons --  CD 
Rom, I think -- called "A L'aventure".  GALT was a sophisticated 
template that allowed teachers to create all the annotations you 
describe, but I don't think it's still available.

A similar template called ART, which is web-based, has been created 
at the Yale Center for Language Study as part of a suite of nine 
web-based templates funded by the Dept. of Education International 
Research and Studies program.  Go to http://cls.yale.edu/, and under 
Technology click on COMET.  You'll find information and sample 
activities for the templates and contact information if you want to 
follow up on them.
