Title: Ideas for Teaching the Imperative
Body: Editor's note: A recent query on the FLTEACH listserv for suggestions on teaching the imperative in Spanish generated the following responses. They were submitted by teachers of Spanish but could be used for any language. ----- At times, I've used recipes written in Spanish. Cook, bake, beat, add, etc. I know of a teacher that brought in a recipe for a smoothie, the kids followed it and drank the results!! Also, you could tell them how to draw something. Coughlin, M. Re: Spanish imperative form lesson ideas. Foreign Language Teaching Forum listserv. FLTEACH@LISTSERV.BUFFALO.EDU (23 Feb. 2005). ----- Playing "Simon Says" with parts of the body is always a good way to teach imperatives. Also, could you try giving them commands in Spanish in order to give them instructions? I know that not all of them may be able to understand, but it's worth a try. You can use hand gestures to get your point across. Sullivan, M. Re: Spanish imperative form lesson ideas. Foreign Language Teaching Forum listserv. FLTEACH@LISTSERV.BUFFALO.EDU (23 Feb. 2005). ----- Here's an idea I should credit to an East High colleague, Teresa Molina, before I pass it on to you: After practicing the command forms for a day or so, tell the students they have a chance to give you commands the next day, and to be sure to write down 4 or 5, in case someone else gives the same command they were hoping to use. Tell them that indecent things, impossible things, academically dishonest things, or anything injurious to your health is unacceptable. They come up with fun stuff--put that pot of flowers on your head, throw your shoe out the window, stand on one foot for 60 seconds, etc. I had one tell me to do a cartwheel once--be sure and wear pants that day and not a skirt!! Wadman, D. Re: Spanish imperative form lesson ideas. Foreign Language Teaching Forum listserv. FLTEACH@LISTSERV.BUFFALO.EDU (24 Feb. 2005).

Title: Keeping Up Your Spanish Listening Skills
Body: Editor's note: Recently several posts to the FLTEACH listserv mentioned ways in which Spanish teachers can maintain their listening skills. Following are several suggestions. ----- Periodically teachers ask how we can keep our ears in practice, particularly if we teach mostly levels 1 and 2, and never have enough contact with our target language. On the one hand , I am blessed: I live in Texas where we have access to multiple television and radio outlets, I attend church in Spanish, and I teach native speakers. On the other hand, I always need more practice. I have recently discovered that audible.com has a few things in Spanish. I just started 'Diario de Clara Eugenia," by Jose Manuel Villalpando, which seems well written and well recorded, and next I'm going to listen/read "Ola Latina" by Jorge Ramos. You download them to your iPod, MP3 or burn a CD, then you listen while you're at the gym or out walking. CRS. Listening practice for teachers: Spanish. Foreign Language Teaching Forum listserv. FLTEACH@LISTSERV.BUFFALO.EDU (19 Feb. 2005). ----- I have immensely enjoyed listening to the first Harry Potter book in Spanish. I know the stories so well that I always understand what is being said, the reader speaks clearly and not too rapidly. However, if you've ever heard the books in English, prepare to be disappointed. The reader is NOT of the same quality. That said, he does read with a lot of expression, so it could be worse! Smallwood, Danie. Listening practice for teachers: Spanish.

We had previously used "Ahlan wa Sahlan" which I found to be a little less "user friendly" (to me as a learner) than the Al-Kitaab series. I particularly recommend Alif Baa which gives a strong foundation in the Arabic alphabet and sound system, which I feel is key to success with the language. Minnick, N.
