"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.
