This is not a technology question, so I hope you will forgive me if this
request is inappropriate. Please feel free to answer to me off list if
the answers would not be of interest to the group.

I am wondering how your foreign language departments handle native
speakers in foreign language classes. Our faculty is finding them to be
bored and/or disruptive. We do not typically have enough native speakers
to offer classes specifically for them. How does your college handle
this problem?

Also, could you recommend a listserve for foreign language instructors
or chairs? I would like the faculty to get involved in one. Thanks!
