Title: Project Explores Spanish as It Is Spoken in Texas
Body: From http://sites.la.utexas.edu/spanishtx/about-the-project The purpose of “Spanish in Texas” is to make available authentic knowledge about the diversity of Spanish and speakers of the Spanish language in Texas for the improvement of educational programs in the state of Texas and beyond. The Center for Open Educational Resources and Language Learning (COERLL)’s team of Spanish-English bilingual undergraduates from UT have recorded more than 45 interviews and conversations with Spanish speakers throughout the state. Click on the “Videos” link to see closed captioned [CC] extracts from some of these interviews. The project directors are working with bilingual specialists and educators to develop instructional materials based on the video corpus for use by student, educators, researchers and the general public. Materials already available include links to videos of Spanish speakers from Texas with comments about the language you’ll hear and why it takes the form that it does; links to the “Linguistic Landscape” of Texas with images of signs that reflect the unique nature of a bilingual Texas; and facts about Spanish speakers in the United States that may help people to reconsider many of the myths people tell about Spanish speakers in the United States. The project website is available at http://sites.la.utexas.edu/spanishtx

Title: A British Perspective: How to succeed with EAL students in the classroom
Body: From http://www.guardian.co.uk/teacher-network/2011/nov/07/eal-students-classroom-teaching-resources?newsfeed=true How to succeed with EAL students in the classroom Fantastic top tips and practical ideas on communicating with students for whom English is an additional language by Mike Gershon November 7, 2011 Good teaching of students for whom English is an additional language (EAL) is simply good teaching; the communication of ideas and information still relies on thoughtful and effective pedagogy. The cornerstone of this ought to be a consideration of the student's point of view. By making the imaginative leap into the position of linguistic stranger, we can start to envisage some of the difficulties one new to a language might come up against.

Title: Nation's Report Card: How ELLs Fared in 2011
Body: From http://blogs.edweek.org/edweek/learning-the-language/2011/11/nations_report_card_how_ells_f.html Nation's Report Card: How ELLs Fared in 2011 By Lesli Maxwell November 2, 2011 The 2011 NAEP results are out and the news is somewhat promising in math and disappointing in reading. Let's take a look at how English-language learners fared on this year's exam. In 4th-grade reading, 70 percent of ELLs scored below basic and 7 percent were at or above proficient, an ever so slight uptick from 2009 when those percentages were 71 and 6, respectively. In 8th grade reading, 71 percent of ELLs were below basic and just 3 percent scored at or above proficient. In 2009, 75 percent of 8th grade ELLs were below basic, with 3 percent scoring at or above proficient. In 4th grade math, 42 percent of ELLs were below basic (compared to 43 percent in 2009) while 14 percent were at or above proficient (compared to 12 percent in 2009). In 8th grade, 72 percent scored below basic and 5 percent were at or above proficient, which represents no change from 2009. But just how reflective of the overall ELL population were NAEP test takers in 2011? Read on at http://blogs.edweek.org/edweek/learning-the-language/2011/11/nations_report_card_how_ells_f.html

Title: More Ideas for Teaching and Practicing Numbers
Body: Last week we shared several teachers’ ideas for practicing numbers. Here are more: --- An oral activity my students like is guessing a number. I select a number and give them the range (0 to 20, 0 to 100 or whatever you decide). I call on a student to guess a number and I say "plus" or "moins.” For example if the range is 0 to 20 and I selected 14, if the first student says "8", I reply "plus.” It's higher than 8. The next student should select a number between 8 and 20 and so on. Whoever guesses the number comes to the front of the class. I have the student write the number he chose on a piece of paper so I can make sure no mistake is being made. Re: [FLTEACH] Teaching numbers. FLTEACH listserv (FLTEACH@LISTSERV.BUFFALO.EDU, 26 Oct 2011). --- In groups of 2, I use dice. The students take turns rolling one die and saying the number. Then they add both dice to say the number. Then they make a double digit with the two dice. Stegeman, D. Re: [FLTEACH] Teaching numbers. FLTEACH listserv (FLTEACH@LISTSERV.BUFFALO.EDU, 26 Oct 2011). --- Make them say and write down their phone numbers. Make them stand up and say the numbers from 1 to 100. Each student says a number (in a row). Whenever a number can be divided by 7 or the number includes a 7 (17, 37 etc.) the student has to say "BEEP". If one does not pay attention he has to sit down and so on. It’s funny when you come to 70. Let them speak one after another. Each student adds e.g. 3 to the number mentioned before: 1,4,7,10,13 etc. Make a tandem worksheet: One student has the number on his side, the other has the word and so they check themselves: A: 11 B: once A: cincuenta y siete B: 57 etc. Bohrer, D. Re: [FLTEACH] Teaching numbers. FLTEACH listserv (FLTEACH@LISTSERV.BUFFALO.EDU, 25 Oct 2011). --- I use playing cards and divide the students into fours. They turn over the cards (10 each) and add their values (face cards are 10s). I also teach them subtraction. The next student takes the sum and subtracts each card until they get to zero. I have them take the sum and divide it by the number of cards. I also have them multiply 4 cards. I also make PowerPoint's with the NFL/NBA/NHL players from our local team (and other superstars). We go up and down the row and say the number of the player's jerseys. Sometimes I play Yahtzee however they need to speak only German. Snyder, John. Re: [FLTEACH] Teaching numbers. FLTEACH listserv (FLTEACH@LISTSERV.BUFFALO.EDU, 26 Oct 2011). --- Doing a version of Bingo with French letters and numbers is a great way to get students to memorize their numbers. You can set it up 0 - 100, and they can maybe have a cheat sheet with all the numbers and French words for them on it for the first few times but then have to do it without the cheat sheet. Remember to make the students call out their numbers in French if they think they have won! You could have the students calling out the numbers if you want to make it more involved. Re: [FLTEACH] Teaching Numbers en francais. FLTEACH listserv (FLTEACH@LISTSERV.BUFFALO.EDU, 1 Nov 2011). --- One activity is to put students in pairs, threes, or fours with a deck of cards (take out the face cards.) One person lays down the card, go around the circle saying the value. Pass the deck to the next person, now put down two cards. If there is a 2 and a 5; it's 25. I even do this with 3 or 4 cards or more for the advanced levels. Another activity is to make A/B sheets of math problems. Top row is addition, next subtraction, multiplication and division - 4 rows. The student READS the problem to the partner (without showing them the paper), the listener writes it down, makes the calculation, and shows the written answer to the speaker and says it in the target language (no English!)
