Please pass to colleagues teaching Russian. Thank you Andrew Jameson Chair, Russian Committee, ALL --------------------------------------------------------------- Please join and participate in the russian-teaching email discussion list! It offers a forum for discussion on Russian teaching in Europe, mainly the UK. The language of discussion is usually English. These lists are most often used for problem solving and asking for professional help. Within a membership of just over 100 people, there will almost always be someone who can suggest a simple answer to problems which, after all, we all experience in our professional lives. Here are step by step instructions on joining the list: Re: russian-teaching email discussion list This is one of the standard UK academic discussion lists, run by Jiscmail: www.jiscmail.ac.uk I am the listowner of russian-teaching. The name "Listowner" is misleading - in fact what I do is sort out bad addresses, error messages and give advice on how to join and leave, = harmless drudge, as Dr Johnson once said. List membership is of course free of charge. There are two ways to join, on the website, or by sending an email command. The second method is simpler and just uses email. This is how to join the list by sending an email message: In the "To" line put: [log in to unmask] This is the address of the server computer and it understands various commands - you will learn what they are as time goes on. Write nothing anywhere else (delete your signature if you have one) and then do the following: In the body of the message write: join russian-teaching <firstname lastname> For example join russian-teaching Andrew Jameson Read the instructions in the reply and do what it says. You will then be a member and will receive all messages sent to the list. The Jiscmail server computer will send you an introductory message with more information about how the list works. Please keep this for reference in the future (it tells you how to leave, for one thing). When you want to send a message to the list yourself, ADDRESS YOUR EMAIL TO THE LIST ADDRESS which is [log in to unmask] Everybody on the list then gets your message. Please use the list to chat with each other (within reason!), tell people useful things, request answers to problems, raise basic questions, and I will try to help too. But the best resource you have is - each other. There are about 100 members on the list, and at the moment most of the messages on the list come from me, so it would be great to have more discussion.
