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!
