Title: Babar’s ABC’s: Online Children’s Book in French
Body: From http://expositions.bnf.fr/livres-enfants/jeux/babar/index.htm Jean de Brunhoff, the creator of Babar, has created a children’s book in which each page has illustrations of things that start with a particular letter of the alphabet. In this online version of the book each time you click on an item, its name appears. A counter on each page keeps track of how many items you’ve found and how many you have yet to find. Not only might children enjoy this activity on their own, but it could be a good vocabulary reinforcement or literacy activity with the whole class.

Title: Elementary Activity Idea: Cinco Ratoncitos
Body: An Improving Early Language Programs (Ñandutí) listserv user recently suggested the following activity for elementary classes: --- The traditional song, "Cinco Ratoncitos" merged with Four Corners! Cinco ratoncitos, de colita gris Mueven las orejas, mueven la nariz (act these lines out) 1,2,3,4,5 corren al rincon (The kids move to one of four designated "corners" where there is a color assigned.) Porque viene el gato a comer raton (You can pick a color out of a hat, or have a student hiding his or her eyes and say a color. Those in that color corner sit down. Start again with 4 ratoncitos.) I use a cat puppet and when we reach the part of the song where I sing "corren al rincon"...I pause and they run to one of the four corners of the rug where I have placed four colored squares. I have the four colored mice in my left hand and the cat puppet in my right hand. Once I start singing again, they have to stay in their chosen corner. I sing "porque viene el gato a comer raton" and I pick one of the mice with the cat puppet and whoever is in that color corner sits down and sings during the next round. Kranz, S. [nandu] IDEAS!. Improving Early Language Programs listserv (nandu@caltalk.cal.org, 21 Apr 2012). Here is a link to the lyrics and a video of the song: http://www.spanishplayground.net/cinco-ratoncitos-%E2%80%93-a-traditional-rhyme-2

Title: Nulu: Study Languages with Current News Articles
Body: Nulu is a new online language learning program that engages students by using current news articles as content. Students can choose an article on a topic that interests them and read it in their target language. While reading the article, students can hover over a word or phrase and get expert human translation of that word or phrase in the context of its sentence. In addition, students can listen to audio of the article recorded by native voice artists in normal and slow speeds. For any new word or phrase in the article, students can click on it to create a flashcard for review at a later date. At the end of each article, students can answer comprehension questions to reinforce what was learned. Finally, students can practice their writing skills in the target language by participating in a discussion forum. And for instructors, there's a class management tool that allows them to easily assign articles, customize grading and track student progress. Nulu, which can be used individually or within a class setting, is available for free for the spring/summer. Nulu currently offers a Spanish program; however, they plan to expand to additional languages in the future. While they do plan to implement a subscription pricing model, there will always be a free version of the program available. You can watch a demonstration video at http://embed.vidyard.com/landingpage/p25FsBzANSJ7KaVDEJVh7Q Nulu is available online at http://www.nululanguages.com ; contact Nulu for more information at info at nululanguages dot com or (800) 376-4049 (Option 1).

Title: Article: Language Demands to Grow for ELLs Under New Standards
Body: From http://www.edweek.org/ew/articles/2012/04/25/29cs-ell.h31.html Language Demands to Grow for ELLs Under New Standards Students required to go well beyond grammar, vocabulary By Lesli A. Maxwell April 23, 2012 Putting the common-core standards into practice in classrooms is a monumental change for teachers in the nation's public schools, but for educators who work with English-language learners, the shifts in instruction are expected to be even more groundbreaking. That's because the new academic expectations for English/language arts and mathematics now adopted by all but four states require much more sophisticated uses of language than the mishmash of standards that have been in use for years across the states, say language-acquisition experts. Helping English-learners surmount the higher expectations of the common standards will depend largely on how well teachers get them to understand academic language, in contrast to the informal, everyday English they use outside the classroom.
