		<description><![CDATA[I came across this article which tells us about a Foreign Language Event which attracted many students! It would be great to see more world language departments in public schools doing similar events.

Have you had a similar event in your school? Please let us know.

To speak or not to speak? Or better yet, how and what to speak? A question that is always prevalent in my class-plans, my program creation and my dreams of spreading the foreign language seed around the world, is what is the most effective way to approach children especially in a very early age? Full immersion or what I call fusion when teaching [...]]]></description>
