Title: Ideas for the Beginning of the School Year, Part 4
Body: Here are two more ideas for the beginning of the school year: --- My teacher did a Spanish version of “2 Truths and 1 Lie”. Basically she had us write down 3 simple sentences about ourselves but one of them must not be true. For example, My favorite color is blue. I have 3 brothers. I like to sing. The student would read out loud their sentence and the class would have to guess what the lie is. Latroi Andrews. Re: [FLTEACH] ice breakers. FLTEACH listserv (FLTEACH@LISTSERV.BUFFALO.EDU, 25 Jul 2011). --- Spanish teachers, a Twiccionario activity on the Zambombazo website focuses on young Spanish-speakers’ reactions to the resumption of classes: http://zachary-jones.com/zambombazo/twiccionario-regreso-a-clases

Title: One Day on Earth - Mapped Videos of Life Around the World
Body: From http://www.freetech4teachers.com/2011/07/one-day-on-earth-mapped-videos-of-life.html One Day on Earth is a global collaborative project that launched last fall for the purpose of documenting 24 hours of life around the world. On October 10, 2010 (10.10.10) people around the world filmed life in their parts of the world. Those recordings were then contributed to a massive film project that will eventually be edited down to showcase the diversity, conflicts, tragedies, and triumphs that take place in a 24 hour period across the globe. The film is not ready yet, but you can explore many of the contributed videos by visiting the One Day on Earth map at http://archive.onedayonearth.org/index.php/videos

Title: Two Visual Dictionaries
Body: From http://langcanada.ca/blog/index.php/2011/07/28/simple-photographic-dictionary Here are two more sources of images to aid communication in the target language --- The Visual Dictionary – http://www.infovisual.info/index.html The Visual Dictionary is different from an encyclopedia or from traditional online dictionaries, thesauri and glossaries because the images replace the words. Search for words or explore the thematic pages. --- Simple Photographic Dictionary – http://photographicdictionary.com The photographic dictionary illustrates thousands of common nouns and simple concepts with beautiful photographs. This dictionary differs from other dictionaries in several ways: Language that is simpler and easier to understand than sites like Wikipedia Short, to the point definitions of words Every entry illustrated by a photograph All names are given for concepts or nouns that are known by a different name in different parts of the world.

Title: New Book: An Introduction to Classical Nahuatl
Body: From http://www.cambridge.org/us/knowledge/isbn/item5601528/An%20Introduction%20to%20Classical%20Nahuatl/?site_locale=en_US An Introduction to Classical Nahuatl by Michel Launey Edited and Translated by Christopher Mackay Now available to an English-speaking audience, this book is a comprehensive grammar of classical Nahuatl, the literary language of the Aztecs. It offers students of Nahuatl a complete and clear treatment of the language's structure, grammar, and vocabulary. It is divided into 35 chapters, beginning with basic syntax and progressing gradually to more complex structures. Each grammatical concept is illustrated clearly with examples, exercises, and passages for translation. A key is provided to allow students to check their answers. By far the most approachable textbook of Nahuatl available, this book will be an excellent teaching tool both for classroom use and for readers pursuing independent study of the language. It will be an invaluable resource to anthropologists, ethnographers, historians, archaeologists, and linguists alike.

Title: Book: L2 Learning as Social Practice: Conversation-analytic Perspectives
Body: From http://nflrc.hawaii.edu/get_publication.cfm?id=286&scriptname=searchsite_pub&keyword=PI02&display_order=alphabetic L2 learning as social practice: Conversation-analytic perspectives Edited by Gabriele Pallotti, Gabriele and Johannes Wagner Published by the National Foreign Language Resource Center This volume collects empirical studies applying Conversation Analysis to situations where second, third and other additional languages are used. A number of different aspects are considered, including how linguistic systems develop over time through social interaction, how participants 'do' language learning and teaching in classroom and everyday settings, how they select languages and manage identities in multilingual contexts and how the linguistic-interactional divide can be bridged with studies combining Conversation Analysis and Functional Linguistics. This variety of issues and approaches clearly shows the fruitfulness of a socio-interactional perspective on second language learning.
