STARTALK Teacher Program Resource List€¦ · STARTALK Teacher Program Resource List STARTALK Central is pleased to present you with a list of resources that have been compiled

STARTALK Teacher Program Resource List STARTALK Central is pleased to present you with a list of resources that have been compiled from past STARTALK program curricula. It is meant to provide all STARTALK programs with information of what other STARTALK programs have used, as well as some resources that were deemed useful by STARTALK staff. The resources that are applicable across languages are listed under General World Languages, while others are listed under specific STARTALK languages (Arabic, Chinese, Hindi, Persian, Swahili, Turkish, and Urdu). The lists are by no means exhaustive but rather represent a work in progress. You may notice that some lists are incomplete or have gaps, reflecting the stages in which different STARTALK programs and languages are. We are hopeful the lists will grow with continuous input from programs and users. These lists are for sharing purposes only and do not in any way constitute an endorsement of any particular website, book, article, report, material, or curriculum by either NFLC, STARTALK, or UMD. We welcome any suggestions and recommendations.
