                                                          Abstract

                   I am requesting professional leave for Spring quarter of 1996.  That quarter and the Summer of
            1996 will give me five months without teaching obligations.  For this period, I have two unrelated
            major objectives.  In curricular design, I plan to undertake and complete a full revision of the first-
            year Latin FLEX program that I have been teaching since Fall 1993, including the development
            and/or integration into it of interactive computer-based learning, to make it more effective both
            pedagogically and in terms of cost.  In research, I plan to revise substantially and resubmit for
            publication at least three articles completed before personal circumstances forced a pause in my
            research program, complete and propose for presentation at least one new conference paper, and begin
            work on a monograph.
