- In answer to Jeri (UT, Austin), Terri and Maurizio's project (U of Utah) goes
- beyond the Local Area Network. Apparently, NEWS is an international network
- that gives access to the target language country and to the native speakers
- --around the world-- of the language being studied. This is the beauty of the
- whole project!... One such netwrok in French, for instance, is FROGTALK: on
- this network, you can communicate with French speakers around the world. Quite
- exciting, I must say, with topics of discussions that are very French, real
- cultural experiences for American students if they had access to the network.
