Title: Chinese Guest Teacher Program for the 2016-2017 School Year
Body:
The Chinese Guest Teacher Program is designed to help U.S. schools develop Chinese language and culture study programs and to promote international exchange between the United States and China. Made possible through a collaboration between the College Board and Hanban/Confucius Institute Headquarters (Hanban), the program has grown to be the largest Chinese visiting teacher program in the U.S. Each year, the program serves hundreds of K–12 schools and districts nationwide and reaches tens of thousands of U.S. students.
This program provides an experienced language teacher from China to fill full-time Chinese language instruction positions in a host school or district for a period of one to three years. The guest teachers have at least three years of teaching experience, and go through a rigorous selection and training process before arriving at the host schools. Participating institutions are responsible for providing a partial salary to the guest teacher, and the remainder is subsidized by a stipend from Hanban.
Online information webinars will be held this Friday, January 22, and next Monday, January 25.
The deadline for host institutions to apply is February 5, 2016.

Title: Pop Song Practice: Daily Listening and Speaking
Body:
From http://www.pblinthetl.com
Blogger “Sra. Spanglish” found that having her students listen to pop songs was helping their speaking, but not their listening - until she started reading some posts about listening on Gianfranco Conti’s website (https://gianfrancoconti.wordpress.com/). See how she has changed her daily tasks around listening to pop songs in this blog post: http://www.pblinthetl.com/2016/01/pop-song-practice-daily-listening-and.html
