Title: Checking Student Comprehension
Body: Ohio Foreign Language Association listserv users recently shared ideas for checking student comprehension. Here are two of them: --- I use polled frequently in class. You can pose a question to the class and then they use their cell phones to text in answers. It has a multiple choice option as well as open ended questions (you have to be careful though because some students will send inappropriate answers.). The multiple choice option appears as a bar graph showing how many students chose each option. It is a great way to check comprehension and the students love to use their cell phones in class. Shankle, L. Re: [OFLA] Ways for checking student comprehension. OFLA listserv (OFLA@LISTSERV.KENT.EDU, 29 Nov 2010). --- I would ask if you are checking comprehension of target language sentences or other language-related information. One way that I use to check student comprehension of TL sentences is to ask students in the TL: Do you understand?/ ¿Comprenden ustedes? Then I say: Show me. Students have 3 choices for a thumb signal (up, down or sideways) to indicate their level of comprehension. It works best if they respond with hand signals only-- NO verbal--for a quick, whole class check. This frees you up to quickly scan the classroom and make your next informed move. Works pretty well, but I try to use it only when necessary to avoid the students tiring of it quickly. Re: [OFLA] Ways for checking student comprehension.

Title: Peace Corps Correspondence Match
Body: From Nathan Lutz: The Peace Corps is looking for additional teachers to participate in the Correspondence Match program. Currently, the Peace Corps has more Volunteers in the field than at any time since 1970; and with more Volunteers interested in the program, they need more teachers with whom they can correspond. I currently participate with two such volunteers who share stories about the countries where they are volunteering. My students really look forward to hearing their news. They also like asking questions. There are volunteers in many countries throughout the world - perhaps a country that you teach about in your world language classes. If you would be interested in a match, or if there are teachers at your school who you think might be interested in participating, please forward this email to them with our new promotional poster, found here: http://www.peacecorps.gov/wws/correspond/pdf/enroll-cm-educ.pdf Encourage you colleagues to take advantage of this wonderful program to help U.S. students learn more about other countries and cultures by corresponding with a Peace Corps Volunteer. Teachers can also learn more about the program and enroll online at: http://www.peacecorps.gov/wws/correspond . Lutz, N. [nandu] Peace Corps Correspondence Match.

Title: Thematic Units Available for Download
Body: From http://flnews.cortland.edu/flteach/thematic_units The approximately 130 thematic units contained on these two freely downloadable CDs represent the work of some 200 students (undergraduate and graduate) who collaborated in their creation at both the University of Kansas and the University of South Florida. They were enrolled in Paul A. García’s Foreign Languages (FL) or English as a Second Language (ESL) methods courses at their respective universities during the years 2002-2010. Therefore, the user of these documents will find materials for English Learners (ELs), French, German, and Spanish students, K-12. An additional item to be found is the 2003 version of an extensive unit on Argentina that Dr. García co-authored with two former doctoral students at the University of Kansas. About 1/3 of the total number of units were created under the auspices of a USDE Title III teacher development grant that Dr. García wrote and directed for add-on ESL endorsement of classroom teachers in the Topeka, Kansas, Schools (USD 501). The website where some 40 of the units are to be found is http://www.t4grant.org . There, users will also find a substantial collection of songs, games, and sponges for use with their classes. Learn more and download the units at http://flnews.cortland.edu/flteach/thematic_units
