Title: Extending Brain Breaks with Extra Language
Body:
From http://indwellinglanguage.com/
Many teachers use “brain breaks” to get students moving and doing something different from what they were just doing, helping them to maintain focus throughout a classroom period. In this recent post, Justin Slocum Bailey shares some ideas for expanding common brain break activities with extra language use, often tying into what is currently being taught in class.

Title: Methods: I Threw Out My Textbook. Now What?
Body:
TPRS. CI. IPA’s. AuthRes. PBL. It’s an exciting (and acronym-filled) time to be a language teacher, as teachers and teachers’ organizations develop and share more and more good practices in language teaching. However, the theories, methods, and techniques of language teaching can seem overwhelming at times, and even at odds with each other. In this excellent blog post, read one teacher’s reflection on different approaches, including resources for learning more about different approaches: http://spanishmama.com/threw-textbook-now-going-day/

Title: Novice Learners and Cultural Questions
Body:
From http://www.pblinthetl.com/
Language teachers often struggle with how their novice learners can learn about the target culture. Do you switch over to English so that you can talk at a level beyond learners’ current L2 proficiency? Is it possible to talk about culture in the target language with novice learners?
Read Laura K. Sexton’s recent blog post in which she discusses the second option, teaching novice learners to ask about and talk about culture in the target language. Her takeaway message: slow it down, and build the skills learners need from the beginning levels.
