For Hideo Tomita:

The RK Johnson book did appear but with another title:

The Second Language Curriculum, CUP, 1989.  It's a good collection
of essays on curriculum development and evaluation.  The paper you
were citing did not make it to that volume however.  Perhaps you should
contact Alan Beretta at Michigan State University to see where the paper
may have gone.  The valuation papers were written by JD Brown, Bahman,
Hudson, and Elley respectively.

Subject:      Language Houses

Do any of our SLART readers have experience in establishing a foreign language
residence on a college campus? Or perhaps someone can describe the functioning
of an existing language house on campus? In 1993 our foreign language department
will have at its disposal a large private home close to campus which we can use
as a residence for language students. We want to spend next school year drumming
up interest and setting it up. Any help with ideas will be most appreciated.

Subject:      Eritrean/Ethiopian English Learners

I a writing a sociolinguistic study of an Eritrean refugee
woman who has been in the U.S. for 10 years.  I have done
a linguistic analysis of her interlanguage and am now considering
the impact of psychological and social distance, a la Schumann,
as factors in the fossilization of her speech.   I have heard
that Charles Ferguson wrote an article about Ethiopian second
language learners, but I have been unable to obtain any information
through my library here at the University of Colorado at Denver.
Can anyone help with the reference?  What journal did it appear in?
Dates?  Any information would be helpful.  Also, if anyone else
has specific information that might be applied to my study of this
woman, please pass it on.  This is my first submission to SLART.
I hope it gets through.

Greetings, Leonard Marsh,
Colorado College, 14 E. Cache le Poudre, Colorado Springs, CO 80903 has
several foreign language residences on campus--French, Russian, Spanish...
Perhaps you could write Prof. Laura Watkins, romance lang. dept. and ask
her for a contact person to give you information on how these large homes
were utilized as dormatories for certain lang. specialties.  I do not have
an email address or name for you there.
C.C. is a small, (>2,000 student population) liberal arts sch., established

consists of single classes taught for three-four hours a day for three and one
half weeks, approximately eight per year.  They emphasize great cultural and
racial diversity in their staff and enrollment.  So many excellent character-

Subject:      Don't worry, be happy

   From the "Personal Briefing" section of yesterday's Philadelphia Inquirer,
a brief note entitled "Don't Worry, Be Happy:"

     You can run from your troubles.  A vigorous aerobic workout definitely
  links up with a drop in anxiety, says University of Wisconsin researcher
  William P. Morgan.  But the same thing can happen after a quiet rest,
  which "led us to propose it may not be the exercise per se, but the
  distraction from the cares and the worries of the day," Morgan says.
  One big difference:  The reduction in anxiety can last two to four
  hours after exercise, compared with just 20 minutes after inactive
  relaxation, says Indiana University researcher John Raglin.

     I might note that Jack Raglin is a SPORTPSY member.  This issue has
been in the literature since Bahrke and Morgan's article back in 1978 (79?).
For all the so called exercise evangelists might say about exercise, and
there are many benefits of exercise besides the anxiolytic properties, the
distraction component in reducing exercise is clearly an important one.
The question remains how much of the effect is due to 'time-out' and how
much is due to exercise.  Anyone seen this addressed (speculated about) in
the literature, assuming we could evaluate that?  Any thoughts?

Subject:      Re: STUDENT RETENTION

Something you might want to keep in mind Jerry is that this is primarily
an American problem. If you look at other countries, the student athletes
are actually the academic acheivers. I would use the school I was coaching
at for four years in the late eighties. At Dalhousie University in Halifax
Nova Scotia, Canada, we had only one person not graduate in the ten years
I was either playing or coaching from the men's soccer team. Other teams
have similar records there. Many of the athletes are at the top of their
class.

        You could say that the reason for this is because the pressures and
time constraints on these athletes are not as great as on American athletes,
but this is simply not the case. The problem I think lies in a more systemic
problem in the Amereican system, (ie. the rewards for being a great athlete
outweigh the rewards of being a great student. At least in the shortterm this
is true. And students are often only thinking about the short term, which is
where the problem lies).

        Another pretty good example is the British schools, who place a
high emphasis on sport, but who's schoolsprimary goal is to produce scholarrs
and graduates. (This problem probably lies more within the athletic departments
of schools in the US I would guess, than in the schools administration as a
whole).

Any how, that's my $0.02 worth. I probably didn't shed any light on the
subject what so ever for you. After all of this is said, leet's be realistic.
There are enourmous pressures put on student athletes in the US at some schools.
   There ability to deal with all ofthis is sometimes limited.

My reason for writing to you was only to make the point that there are
international differences in this problem.

Jerry: There is some older research which I can give cite.  However,

appears at first sight.  Are there difference among various sports?
Are there differences among sports by NCAA division?  How does one
count graduation, i.e, how many years to complete?  Does one include
in the statistics only those students who make it to their senior
year, or does one look at all the students who entered as freshmen
and consider their graduation rate?  Is graduation rate the same
as success?  I've not even included the same issues for gender
and race.  When considering graduation, should we also look at
college major?  Percent of graduates continuing their education?
And the list could go on and on.

Good Luck!

There is also some material on expert-novice differences in the most recent
issue of the IJSP [1991, 22(3/4)].
