Title: Ideas for Introducing and Practicing Family Vocabulary, Part 1
Body: Recently FLTEACH users shared some ideas for introducing and practicing family vocabulary. --- For high school students (and perhaps younger) you can make a PowerPoint (chart, whatever) of the royal family of Spain. Put it on the screen and talk-talk-talk. Then ask questions: who is the mother of ...? How many grandchildren do the Reyes have? How old is the King? How old is the Queen? There are also some wonderful videos online - snippets of the wedding of Juan Carlos and Sofia, the wedding of Felipe, of course, and precious videos of the little girls. It makes a nice review of numbers (age, how many whatever-relation), it teaches family relationships, and it certainly is a nice piece of culture. I have also shown them a family photo of my own family. Kids are always interested in the teacher's private life (hah! They're amazed that we have one!). Stacy, C. Re: [FLTEACH] FAMILY VOCAB. SPANISH. FLTEACH listserv (FLTEACH@LISTSERV.BUFFALO.EDU, 18 Sep 2010). --- 1. PreK - first graders: Young children are still interested in learning and talking about their own families in the target language. Puppets are wonderful, as are stuffed family dolls. Presenting touchable family members in a hierarchical pyramid on the floor, and then manipulating the family members, naming them and having students move them around and name them in the target language is very effective. Memory or concentration with pictures and basic words is great. Showing lots of diverse families in photos is effective. Young learners can indicate family members completely in the TL. 2. Elementary: grades 2-5. Children love animals. Families of beloved animals are usually a hit, and you can bring geography and culture in as more content with some animals prominent in the target cultures. This is the age of classifying and categorizing and using third person narrative description. Stories with animal-families human families are great if the input is at least 75% comprehensible. This is where the old school create a family tree in the TL works well. 3. Middle School: grades 6-8. Social, social middle schoolers with short attention spans and tons of energy love family activities that call on their pop-cultural icons. George Lopez, Icarly, etc. Grades 7 and 8 are able to navigate more I to YOU conversations and they love any and all performance activities: skits, videos, etc. Middle schoolers still like the younger games with a tween-twist on them re family members. Grammar-mastery can still be elusive here, so we try not to wince too much. :) 4. High School: grades 9-12. Students even in Level I have seen or heard about TL family members, so it all needs to be brought up to teenaged standards of relevancy and interest. Never easy. Families of random, disparate celebrities from the STUDENTS' ERA are fun for them. Family is a great time to have students recycle and use personal descriptions, clothing and occupations. Challenging target language true and false or multiple choice questions are so good for reading comprehension and input. Forin, C. Re: [FLTEACH] FAMILY VOCAB. SPANISH. FLTEACH listserv (FLTEACH@LISTSERV.BUFFALO.EDU, 18 Sep 2010). --- See next week’s InterCom for more ideas for introducing and practicing family vocabulary.

Title: Book: The Russian Word's Worth
Body: From http://www.nupress.northwestern.edu/Title/tabid/68/ISBN/5-7172-0087-0/Default.aspx The Russian Word's Worth: A Humorous and Informative Guide to the Russian Language, Culture and Translation By Michele A. Berdy Published in the US by Northwestern University Press Summary: Since 2002, readers all over the world have been enjoying and learning from Michele A. Berdy’s column, "The Word’s Worth," in The Moscow Times. A quirky, opinionated, sometimes hilarious and yet always thoughtful and authoritative guide, Berdy looks at Russia’s changing culture, politics, and daily life through language and the art of translation. In the over 200 columns gathered in this volume, she explores the language of popular and youth culture, politics, the workplace, culture high and low, and the comical struggle of expats trying to feel at home in a foreign language and culture. She tackles subjects not found in any Russian textbook or cultural guide, from the serious (expressing condolences and mastering church etiquette) through the annoying (dealing with the plumber and writing the perfect robbery report), to the essential (excusing oneself – politely and not -- to use the rest room). Her columns clarify Russian grammar, provide translations of devilishly difficult words and phrases, and throw open a window on Russia in the 21st century. This volume includes columns from 2002 to 2007, updated and organized into thematic chapters. An index of Russian words, phrases and expressions provides convenient reference. The Russian Word’s Worth is essential reading for students and teachers of Russian, translators, Russia-watchers, foreigners in Moscow, and anyone who wants to understand Russia today.
