Title: Movie Recommendations
Body: A recent topic on TEACHASL has been movies relating to the deaf community. The following were recommended: Some films with different perspectives on/from Deaf people that I use are: Beyond Silence How To Talk to a Person Who Can't Hear (yes, it's a beginning signed English vocabulary video, but the images of Deaf folks are very positive) Children of a Lesser God Love is Never Silent (Captioned Media Program.) Deaf-Blind:Communication and Community (Sign Media Productions) ASL PAH! - Deaf Students Perspectives on Their Language (Linstock Press, now incorporated into Sign Media, I believe.) Lovejoy, J. (26 May 2004). Re: a heart is lonely hunter movie. A discussion list for teachers of American Sign Language. TEACHASL@ADMIN.HUMBERC.ON.CA (27 May 2004). Theres another movie: In the Land of the Deaf Also, the Deaf Culture series from Sign Enhancers. Morris, P. (26 May 2004). Re: a heart is lonely hunter movie. A discussion list for teachers of American Sign Language. TEACHASL@ADMIN.HUMBERC.ON.CA (27 May 2004). -- In defense of the Heart is a Lonelyy Hunter, I think that it portrays a very realistic view of the communication isolation of the Deaf. This is what I convey when I talk about this movie with my class. I off-set this movie with Children of a Lesser God. Generally, I show COG first, and then the Heart is a Lonely Hunter. Another teaching tool I use is highlighting the stereo typing about the Deaf that is inherent in the movie. This gives the students something else to consider when learning about Deaf culture. While this movie might not work for some, it has worked for me because I bridge the gap by ensuring that the students understand the whole picture of deafness and cultural identity. Stuard, V.

Title: Activities for The Heart is a Lonely Hunter
Body: The Heart is a Lonely Hunter is an excellent movie to demonstrate the communicative isolation that the Deaf experience among Hearing people. It also demonstrates the control that hearing individuals have over the Deaf as well. I showed this movie to my high school students when I was teaching High School, and now to my community college students even though it is rather long and tries to deal with several issues at the same time. Maybe the producers did not think that there was enough of a story and wanted to use the others as filler. Nah..... these things were in the book as well. You might want to break your high school students into groups and encourage a discussion based on the following questions: Is it realistic to assume that Singer could understand everyone one hundred percent of the time? Did the Deaf in this story have control over their destiny? Why or why not? (It was clear that Singer wanted to have his friend live with him, why was that not allowed?) Discuss social isolation..... imagine that you were the only two hearing people in a Deaf world. How would you communicate? As a Deaf man, in a hearing world, was Singer successful in buidling relationships with hearing people? Discuss Singer's personality. What were his strengths and what were his weaknesses? How did Singer's lack of a close relationship with affect his life? Why was Singer such a caretaker? Was that healthy? Why or why not? Was it appreciated? Who took care of Singer emotionally? What impacted you most about the movie? How is the movie realistic or unrealistic? Ask them to pick one person who would be willing to share the group's feedback when you come back into the large group. You can also ask them to journal about these questions if you do not want to have a discussion forum. Or you could ask them to journal first, and then break them into groups for discussion.

Title: Tips for improving your Spanish
Body: FLTEACH contributors suggested the following in response to a new teacher's question: How can I improve my Spanish skills? Have you considered volunteering in the Latino community if you have time? Do you watch Spanish tv or movies? You can also watch news from Spanish speaking countries via the internet. Johns, C. (12 May 2004). Practicing your Spanish to new teacher. (27 May 2004). Another few ways to practice one's Spanish ... Try church service in Spanish and give a call to the local hospital(s) and jails. The last time I was living in the US, rural New England, I tutored guests of the county correctional institute in GED, and ended up helping out the Latino inmates, and more often than not with English. There was no pay in money, but it was a very good experience! McLellan, N. (12 May 2004). Re Practicing your Spanish to new teacher. (27 May 2004). And read, read, read...silently, aloud, read everything from People en Español to Cervantes. Tuttle, L. (13 May 2004). Re: Re Practicing your Spanish to new teacher. (27 May 2004).

Title: Book Recommendation for New Teachers
Body: Based upon what I hear new teachers say, their biggest challenge and the area for which they feel least prepared is the day-to-day stuff like classroom management. I suggest that you buy a copy of Harry Wong's book "The First Days of School" for some excellent ideas on how to manage and organize a classroom. I recommend this book to all teachers, regardless of content area or grade level. Wilkerson, C. (26 May 2004). Re: New Teacher. Foreign Language Teaching Forum listserv.
