Title: Spanish conjugation activity
Body: A recent discussion on the FLTEACH listserv generated the following (abridged) suggestions for teaching Spanish verb conjugation. ----- I have the students create their own verbs, and we have a good discussion of what Spanglish is. Basically, they take an English word and create an AR verb infinitive out of it. Then they must "define" their verb (using English), conjugate it correctly for all subject pronouns, and draw a picture to represent it.They also write sentences using their new verb in this format: Subject or subject pronoun + conjugated verb + completion. Next, they present their verb to the class. The students really enjoy this and I get some very creative responses! Grieben, C. Re: Spanish subject pronouns activity request - Yo tu el ella Ud. etc... Foreign Language Teaching Forum listserv. FLTEACH@LISTSERV.BUFFALO.EDU (23 Nov. 2004). ----- Make a long list of regular -ar verbs. Choose a common verb, like "hablar". Dress up like a doctor, or a karate man and overexaggerate the "cutting off" of the -ar ending. The goofier it is, the better they will remember how to do it! Show the endings for the other forms. Next, pass out one verb to each student. Have them conjugate the verb and show you. Next, have them make a "verb garden." Each student turns their verb into a flower, with each petal being a different subject pronoun and verb form. I usually put them on top of my chalkboard. They're cute, they decorate the room, and students always have a reference. Moritz, W. Re: Spanish subject pronouns activity request - Yo tu el ella Ud. etc...

Title: Family literacy workshop ideas
Body: Editor's note: A recent discussion on the TESL-L listserv generated the following suggestion for improving family literacy: ----- Adult Ed ESL programs that are outside of regular school hours get better attendance if they have some kind of childcare. In lieu of childcare, consider working an element of "family literacy" into some of the classes- maybe one class period a week. Some logistics would include finding out who has kids, the ages of the kids and if they speak English or not. Some ideas for ESL family literacy: 1. Students can read stories to their children. 2. Students and their children work on a craft-type project together that is demonstrated and narrated by the teacher in front of the class. 3. The teacher can teach parents and children "nursery-type" songs involving letters, numbers, repetition, animals, etc., using visuals and body movements. 4. Word games like vocabulary or picture bingo 5. Book making. Kids and parents write, or English speaking kids dictate and illustrate. Even if your goal is not family literacy, consider it a way to improve your attendance and motivate your adult students. It's amazing the English "competition" that develops between immigrant parents and their children who are learning English quickly! Spelleri, M. Re: More workshop ideas.

Title: Spanish literature information on the radio
Body: Learn about literature in the Spanish-speaking countries by way of the online services of shortwave radio stations. For example, from Mexico there's one of my favorites "Radio Educacion" at http://www.radioeducacion.edu.mx/ This online service is featuring Javier Sierra from Spain who wrote "La Cena Secreta". And, from France's Radio France International at http://www.rfi.fr and in the Spanish section (http://www.rfi.fr/fichiers/Langues/rfi_espagnol_main.asp) there's a report of the 'concurso de cuentos' Juan Rulfo. These days you can read or even listen to the reports. And, if you'd like to know where to find more shortwave stations find a copy of the magazine "Popular Communications" at a newsstand or fine bookstore near you. Phillips, J. Literatura/red*mundial.
