Watch+Your+Language

=Watch Your Language=

===**Some students respond with some combination of dread and boredom at the prospect of learning a foreign language. Graham Shelby was one of those. He avoided foreign language as actively as possible from elementary school through college. Then he got his first job - in Japan. //Watch Your Language// uses science, storytelling, mathematics, humor (and Japanese) to help students overcome their resistance to studying foreign languages. Filled with real-life examples of the challenges, rewards and opportunities of foreign language learning, //Watch Your Language// can help motivate your students to see the value of this crucial part of the curriculum and provide teachers with ready answers the next time a student asks, “Why do we have to learn a foreign language anyway?"** ===
