Title: Teaching Arabic Songs
Body:
From: http://lailafamiliar.com/teaching-arabic-songs/
This blog post delves into using songs, especially those from contemporary artists, in Arabic language classrooms. The author suggests considering the following when choosing songs to use: learners’ proficiencies, the diction of the artist, the rhythm of the song, the dialect, and the time it takes to rehearse and learn lines. Allowing learners to choose songs can also be useful to increase learner engagement and motivation. At the end of the blog, the author includes a list of songs for classroom use. This resource would be useful for teachers looking for suggestions of contemporary artists/songs and for those new to using music in the classroom.

Title: Managing Online Classes Successfully: A Self-Observation Form
Body:
From: http://lailafamiliar.com/managing-online-classes-successfully-a-self-observation-form/#
In this blog post, the author outlines the development of a self-evaluation form for teachers working in remote or hybrid settings. While engaging in reflective practices about one’s own teaching is useful in any teaching context, reflecting about managing online learning spaces is especially important given the added challenges specific to these spaces (e.g., connectivity and access, screen fatigue, and comparatively lower levels of non-verbal communication than in face-to-face spaces). This post and the reflection form would be useful for any educators working in online spaces.

Title: Greatest Hits Challenge - Week Three
Body:
Welcome to week three of the CASLS Greatest Hits Challenge! Whether you have been participating since week one, or are just starting now, download your Greatest Hits Bingo card to play along!
This week’s Greatest Hits video is What is Intercultural Communicative Competence?. Intercultural Communicative Competence, or ICC, refers to the ability to communicate effectively and dynamically with people from different cultures. This concept goes beyond simply understanding the vocabulary and grammar of a language. Further, it entails more than knowing information about the culture(s) where that language is spoken. From an ICC lens, being able to interact with others effectively and dynamically includes building awareness of how a myriad of cultural and interpersonal factors impact communication. This awareness should be used when negotiating meaning and building relationships with others.
Here’s how to play:
First, watch this week’s video.
Then, choose one language function in your target language that you want to explore using the Observe, Analyze, Practice, and Extend routine from the video.
Use the questions below to guide your exploration:
- Observe - Where and when is the function used in the target language?
- Analyze - What patterns do I see in examples of this function?
- Practice - Where can I use this function in my own language learning?
- Extend - Are there other words or phrases I want to learn that are associated with this function or the situations in which it is used? What other communicative or interpersonal factors influence the use of this function?
Next, pull out your Bingo card and explore this week’s activities. Complete one or complete all five - it’s up to you!
Choose from:
- Use Idiomatic Expressions
- Compare and Contrast Ads
- Summarize a Video with a Friend
- Observe Discourse Markers
- Decode Hashtags
Remember, complete any five activities in a row (horizontal, vertical, and/or diagonal) to win!
When your card is completed, email us a copy of it info@uoregon.edu with “Greatest Hits Challenge” in the subject line, and we will mail you a prize!
Note: Educators, are you looking for a pre-made activity to go along with this week's Bingo card videos? Find selected activities here: Use Idiomatic Expressions to Improve Writing, Summarizing What You Heard, Observe Discourse Markers, and Hashtag It! Tips for Decoding Hashtags.

Body:
From: https://www.signingsavvy.com/blog/378/Tips+When+Starting+to+Fingerspell
This article by interpreter, author, and teacher Brenda Cartwright provides instructions for how to appropriately fingerspell. Concepts covered include mouthing or saying a word as it is spelled in lieu of the letters themselves. Additionally, Cartwright covers slightly shifting one’s hand while fingerspelling a word, maintaining a steady pace, practicing with one’s own name, and pausing at the end of each fingerspelled word. This article is a great introduction to fingerspelling and is recommended for beginning learners of ASL.

Title: Latin, the Undead Language
Body:
From: https://subtitlepod.com/latin-the-undead-language/
This podcast episode explores the ways that Latin continues to be studied and used by learners and scholars alike. Despite its reputation as being a “dead language,” Latin still thrives through ongoing research projects by Latin scholars and lexicographers, and it survives through learner engagement with texts and in contemporary community spaces. This resource would be especially engaging for those interested in classical languages, the connections between classical and modern languages, or community-based language learning and practice.
