Title: Book Review: Strategic Interactions, by Robert J. Di Pietro
Body: From: Caroline Gwatkin Advanced Studies Centre, Buenos Aires, Argentina In March, David Tillyer sent in an interesting idea regarding scenarios for oral practice. May I suggest a rather old, but very inspiring book called 'Strategic Interactions' by Robert J. Di Pietro (pub. CUP 1987, ISBN 0 521 31197 7). I have reread this book time and time again and always have found something new to help me with learners at almost any level.

Title: Materials: Petit Prince et Saint-Exupery
Body: Editor's Note: For anyone who has ever taught or ever will teach Le Petit Prince, here are two sites related to his demise. First, in English, a nice summative article from cnn.com: http://www.cnn.com/2004/WORLD/europe/04/07/saint.exupery.ap/index.html Excerpt: PARIS, France (AP) -- It was one of French aviation's enduring mysteries: Antoine de Saint-Exupery, the pilot and author of the beloved tale "The Little Prince," took off on a World War II spy mission for the Allies and was never seen again. After 60 years, officials have confirmed that the twisted wreckage of a Lockheed P-38 Lightning, found on the Mediterranean seabed not far from the rugged cliffs of Provence, belonged to Saint-Exupery, Air Force Capt. Frederic Solano said Wednesday. Secondly, an expansive site in French that starts from the wreckage of Saint- Exupery's plane and works backwards to his career, considering the tantalizing question: Saint-Exupéry "grand écrivain mais mauvais pilote?" http://www.enprovence.com/saint-exupery/ I would recommend this site, with its short pages of text, for student research and reading, as an extension of their work with the Little Prince.

Presenters are given the opportunity to submit articles for the CSC Report, which is a bound volume distributed to all attendees. Next year's theme is "The Year of Languages." We especially love TPRS in Ohio, so if you would like to present some aspect of TPRS that has been highly successful for you--music, reading, classroom management, pop-up grammar, etc.--please submit a proposal and share your ideas with us.

Title: Japanese Dos and Don'ts
Body: The folllowing question was put forward by Jeff Casey (jcasey@rockyview.ab.ca) At parent-teacher interviews last night a parent asked me if I could recommend a good book about the "Do's and Don't's of Japanese culture." In his words, "So that when my daughter goes to Japan she will not put her foot in her mouth." I have to confess I have snipits of cultural information that I integrate into my lessons; but an entire book, I am not sure where to start for this request. Any suggestions? ----------------- Replies: Though this is not a book, our "Weekend Homestay Manual" contains a Do's and Don't's section. http://www.jflalc.org/teaching/index.html ("Weekend Homestay Manual" under "Teaching/leaning Materials" section) This manual was originally made for high school students staying with a Japanese family over a weekend in the U.S., but I think you can use it when your students experience a short homestay (2-3 nights) in Japan, too. ------------ I know it is not a book, but I hope this helps... Japan FAQ--Japanese Manners and Etiquette http://www.geocities.com/japanfaq/FAQ-Manners.html Other cultural links can be found at: http://www.sabotenweb.com/bookmarks/culture.html ------------- There is the book: Japanese Cultural Encounters & How to Handle Them, published by Passport Books (a division of NTC Publishing Group). This was co-authered by Hiroko Kataoka and Tetsuya Kusumoto. ISBN: 0-8442-8531-5 I have found it very useful for my business class as well. -------------- There is a small, cheap book by Yen Books called "Etiquette Guide to Japan- Know the rules that make the difference" ISBN- 4-900737-046. (Author Boye De Mente) It was first printed in 1990 but it still relevant today I believe. It covers just about everything to do with etiquette in Japan (there are 33 topics in total!).
