Occasionally we receive requests from various kinds of organizations asking us to disseminate information about them to our members. In the past, we have generally published such information only when a FLAME member has made a recommendation. At the FLAME Board meeting that took place on Jan. 17, 2007, it was decided to create a special page devoted to information that is potentially of interest to our members--with the understanding that this does not constitute an endorsement by the FLAME Advisory Board.
Have you ever thought about living and working overseas? If you are a college graduate or just finishing up, here’s your chance! How would you like to have your housing paid for, and the opportunity to bring home about $10-12K after a year of working and living in Asia? Korea is located in the middle of Asia, making it easy for you to travel and experience new places. You could have the opportunity to teach conversational English in South Korea for a year! You would be teaching in a private school in a different culture! You do not need to know how to speak Korean, or have any teaching experience. BENEFITS:

The Language Travel Company specializes in organizing Italian, Spanish, French, German, Chinese, Greek, Portuguese, Russian, and Arabic language immersion programs for students of all levels and ages in carefully chosen study locations across the world. Our language schools are all fully accredited and offer the highest standards of teaching, and excellent facilities in carefully chosen study locations across the world. Many of our programs qualify for the transfer of academic credit and also offer full cultural programs to compliment our student's language learning. In addition to this, all members of our advisory team, including myself, are language graduates who have a great deal of personal experience in studying abroad. Our work is based on a genuine enthusiasm for wonderful experiences of living and learning languages in the country where they are spoken! We are always happy to help students decide which course and which location (we visit all of our schools personally) will best suit the needs of the individual, as well give them real advice on what to expect when they study abroad.

A year ago I launched a new web site -- http://www.makebeliefscomix.com -- where children and adults can create their own comic strips. They can select from 15 fun characters with different moods -- happy, sad, angry, worried – and write words for blank talk and thought balloons to make their characters talk and think. There also are story ideas and prompts to help users create graphic stories. This site can be used by educators to teach language, reading and writing skills, and also for students in English-as-a-Second-Language programs to facilitate self-expression and storytelling, as well as computer literacy. It is now being used in 160 countries by educators. Some educational therapists use it with deaf and autistic people to help them understand concepts and communicate. Parents and children can create stories together, print them to create comic books or email them to friends and family. Others will find the site a resource to be creative, calm down and have fun. Because so many Spanish-speaking users asked us for the ability to write their cartoons in Spanish as well as in English, we recently upgraded the site to accept words written in Spanish, including appropriate accent marks. This can be a useful tool for someone who is learning Spanish as well as someone whose first language is Spanish. This feature is being expanded to other languages, such as French, Italian and German. I am hoping that you will share http://www.makebeliefscomix.com with your colleagues, teachers, students or readers of your publications and resource lists. The site is free with no advertising. Any help you might offer in getting word out about this project is very appreciated. If you can suggest other people or groups whom I might contact to make
them aware of the site please send me their names, email addresses or phone
numbers. Any list-servs I might join? Relevant Internet resource sharing
groups would be helpful, too. It takes a community to build a useful
resource like this one.

I am Sylvie Reeves, a French national married to an Englishman. After 6 years living and working in England, we settled down in France in 1987. I was head of the Language Centre of the Saumur Chamber of Commerce and Industry for nearly twenty years until I decided to do my own thing and registered my small business in December 2006. My wish is to share our quality of life with the international francophiles who love culture, history, heritage, gastronomy and fine wines and local savoir- faire du terroir, offering them 101 ways to improve their level of French , either by intensive residential courses for those living abroad or by traditional weekly classes or theme workshops for the Loire Valley residents. We are also in the process of renovating part of our property, due to open as a self-catering accommodation in June this year. We live down the road from The Royal Abbey of Fontevraud. I have resorted to the dynamism and savoir-faire of a nutshell of professionals who really want to make sure Fontevraud and its inhabitants will be remembered as a once in a lifetime experience. Richard the enlumineur, Michel the upholsterer, Einav the jewellery maker, Fabrice, master chef in La Licorne just opposite my house.. all of us strive for a convivial fruitful exchange with visitors from all over the world... making them share the secrets of our cultural heritage.
