Title: Holding Conferences with Parents of English Language Learners
Body: From http://edge.ascd.org/_Holding-Conferences-with-Parents-of-ELLs/blog/6384467/127586.html The increasing population of linguistically and culturally diverse students in our schools poses a challenge for classroom teachers who need to communicate with their families. Parents of English language learners may not be familiar with the practice of meeting with their child’s teacher and do not know what is expected of them during a parent-teacher conference. Many classroom teachers do not know how to communicate with parents who do not speak English and who are not familiar with U.S. school practices. Conferences with parents of English language learners (ELLs) require preparation on order to have a productive meeting. Here are six ideas that will help teachers of ELLs: http://edge.ascd.org/_Holding-Conferences-with-Parents-of-ELLs/blog/6384467/127586.html

Title: Alternative Dictionaries: Collection of Taboo Words
Body: I (your InterCom editor) remember one day in college when a Spanish professor dedicated the last part of a class to teaching us naughty words. Those who didn’t want to hear were free to go, and the rest of us stayed on for a dispassionate presentation of sexual and scatological words in Spanish with their closest English equivalents. If you are looking for a list of dirty words in the world’s languages, carefully organized by language family and sub-family, try the Alternative Dictionaries website: http://www.alternative-dictionaries.net
