From: https://storylearning.com/learn/spanish/spanish-tips/dominican-spanish
This blog post describes Dominican Spanish and provides learners with an overview of the differences between Dominican Spanish and other varieties. The history, pronunciation, pronoun usage, grammatical nuances, and slang common to Dominican Spanish are all highlighted. This resource would be most appropriate for Intermediate and Advanced learners of Spanish because it presupposes knowledge of certain grammar structures and knowledge of langauge variety.

Title: Vocabulary Playlist & Compass Points Thinking Routine
Body:
Set your vocabulary learning goals with a Compass Points thinking routine (modeled on this thinking routine from Project Zero), and then dive into learning with CASLS’s Vocabulary Activities Playlist.
Mode(s): Interpretive, Presentational
Materials: CASLS Vocabulary Activities Playlist, device with internet access, target language dictionary (if needed for chosen playlist activity)
First, think about how you learn new vocabulary or practice words you already know using the four Compass Points (east, west, north, south). Consider the questions for each of the four points below.
- E = East = Excited
- What excites you about learning vocabulary?
- W = West = Worrisome
- What do you find worrisome or challenging about learning vocabulary?
- N = North = Need to Know
- What do you need to know to learn vocabulary? What information helps you learn, contextualize, remember and use target language words?
- S = South = Suggestion for Moving Forward
- Based on the first three points, what suggestions can you give yourself for learning new vocabulary or reinforcing existing vocab knowledge?
Then, using your suggestions from #4, choose an activity to complete from the CASLS Vocabulary Activities playlist.
Finally, after you have completed the activity, reflect on your experience by revisiting your Compass Points (East, West, North and South).
- E = Did the activity help you feel excited about learning your chosen vocabulary? Why or why not?
- W = Did the activity help you address any worries or challenges? Why or why not?
- N = Were you able to find and apply what you need to know to learn and use vocabulary?
- S = Where do you want to go from here with your vocabulary learning? What suggestions do you have for yourself? What types of activities do you want to do now, or which vocabluarly learning goals do you want to set for yourself?

Title: Mind Map to Find Reading Materials
Body:
Not sure of what you might like to read in the language you’re learning? Create a mind map to brainstorm genres and sources of reading materials based on your interests.
Mode(s): Interpretive, Presentational
Materials: Paper and pen or pencils, or a digital document. Optional: digital mind mapping tool (check out this list for examples)
- First, think about what topic you would be most excited to read about in the language you are learning. Or identify a genre of reading materials you are interested in (eg. social media posts, new articles, blog posts, books, etc.). Write (or draw) this topic or genre down to start your mind map. You can create your mind map by hand or by using a digital mind mapping tool.
- Then, add information related to reading about this topic or genre. You can add any written or visual information relevant to your chosen topic or genre. Think about the following questions, and use your answers to help you add information to you map:
- Why do I want to read about this topic? Why do I want to read this genre of writing?
- Where can I find writing about this topic, or in this genre? Is it available as printed or digital material? Are there audio recordings or audiobooks of it?
- Who writes in the target language about this topic or in this genre? Why do they write about it?
- Are there any specialized vocabulary related to the topic or genre you need to know? Is it written in the standard dialect or a different dialect?
- When was it written and/or published? Is it written using contemporary language?
- Do you want to read something that has visual components (like a social media post, picture book, comic book, etc.)?
- Organize the information you add to your map however makes sense to you! You can draw connections between words and concepts, write lists, represent ideas visually, etc.
- Then, search for reading materials. If you find reading materials that you like, add the titles, authors’ names, digital source location, or any other relevant identifying information on your mind map.
- Read your found materials!
- Continue to add to your map as you read new materials, brainstorming new ideas and connections. Or revisit your map to see what you have already read and enjoyed, or to review how you found those materials.

Title: Top 5 Important Dates in Japan
Body:
From: https://www.japanesepod101.com/lesson/all-about-9-top-5-important-holidays
In this lesson transcript, the hosts discuss not only holidays, but important milestones in Japanese life. The hosts go into depth about several holidays and the unique traditions associated with each. For example, while many in the US perform a “spring cleaning”, this is done at the end of the year in Japan. Additionally, the Japanese government moved many holidays to Monday to allow for more 3-day weekends.
