Subject: Music/Language Acquisition

Please distribute the following message to Humanist. Thank you.

I have a post-graduate student who is interested in the development
of language skills and musical skills in young children. Since the
student is Cantonese, she is particularly interested in the development
of pitch sense and its interaction with the learning of a tonal language
such as Cantonese.

The student has an M.A. in Music Education from the University of
Reading, England, but she would like to make contact with people sharing
similar music/language interests working in the U.S.. Is anybody
interested in this subject, or know of others who might be? If replies
can be sent to me, I'll pass them on to the student. Thank you.

Subject: CALL bibliography

Does anyone know of anything resembling a complete bibliography of
commercially available CALL software? By country? Continent? Target or
source language? Pedagogical modes? Other categories?

Thanks,

Subject: "ftp" guide?

Does there exist a directory of public access archives similar to the
"Internet Library Guide" put out by Art St. George et al? I know of
only one or two, and that is the tiniest tip of a very large iceberg,
I'm sure. Perhaps if such a directory/guide doesn't exist, HUMANIST
members could start to compile one. The two examples I know of are
SIMTEL20, and the Washington U. (St. Louis) archive. Both store vast
numbers of programs for running in various environments. Are there
other such archives? Does your institution have such facilities?

Subject: query about Amstrad computers

I have a question concerning Amstrad computers used in England. Can
they read a diskette formatted in an MS-DOS machine? Is there a word
processer than is "standard" for the machine? As you can guess I would
like to send a disk to someone in England--and that person has an
Amstrad.

Thanks in advance for any insight!

Subject: information requested on COSC scores as predictors

Owen Mordaunt, a colleague teaching ESL but not a member of this list,
is researching the use as a predictor of future academic achievement
the Cambridge Overseas School Certificate (COSC) English Language Exams
or Ordinary Level (O'Level) exams. Using data from Swaziland, Owen has
tentative results indicating that the top scores are not good predictors
but that lower scores may be. If any of you has sources, references, or
even anecdotal information on the use of these exam scores, particularly
for predicting future academic achievement of ESL students, please respond
to Mordaunt@unoma1.

Thank you in advance,

From: al649@cleveland.Freenet.Edu (Martin J. Homan)
Subject: TWOT

I read in the latest issue of _Tic Talk_ (Winter 1991) that the
_Theologisches Woerterbuch zum Alten Testament_ has been completed
up through vol. 7, fasc. 1/2. Since Eerdmans has completed only
through yodh, and the German edition is up to resh, I would
appreciate it if someone could supply me with information about
how I might be able to procure the German volumes in the USA? If
this is not possible, I would appreciate ascertaining how one can
procure them directly from Kohlhammer.

Thanks for your help.

Marty
