Title: Current Events Discussion for Advanced Speakers of French
Body: "Arrêt sur image" is a show with Arlette Chabot, one of the top French TV journalists, that explores events as they are seen in the media: http://www.france5.fr/asi/006869/39/126383.cfm The site has extensive video coverage. I am watching a video that explores the evolution of the media coverage of Nicolas Sarkosy's domestic troubles in the context of the French imperative about respecting the private lives of public figures. Another is a portrait of Dominique de Villepin, yet another on the referendum, one on loss of jobs due to relocation of industries. Finally, a very funny piece that is a review of literary terms (as if for the bac) done through am examination of excerpts from Kaamelott, a comic representation of King Arthur's court that is currently playing on M6. I don't know to what extent any of this is really usable with lower level students, but it looks like excellent exposure to language to keep French teachers sharp. Ponterio, B. And even more online French TV. Foreign Language Teaching Forum listserv. FLTEACH@LISTSERV.BUFFALO.EDU (16 June 2005).

Title: Recommended Exercise: Lola Rennt
Body: Hyde's About.com site has a fantastic exercise by Pamela Reid. You show the movie over three days (one for each running), have students be responsible for one character each, and the student keeps track of what happens to the character each time. http://german.about.com/library/bllolextchr1.htm I've used this activity for years now -- every class loves it, and they get much more out of the movie by seeing which actions lead to which consequences. We discuss at the end of each running what each student has found out, and I pass out a chart. Some kids follow extra characters because they get interested in them. I can imagine bogging it down with anything extra to "fill in." It also leads to some great discussions about what could happen in the next running, what decisions made everything work out in the end, what are the major differences, etc. Schroeder, A. Re: [AATG-L] Lola Rennt. American Association of Teachers of German listserv. AATG@listserv.iupui.edu (29 Mar 2005). Editor's note: More information about this film and how to use it in class is available at: http://german.about.com/library/bllolaex.htm

Title: Get Reluctant Students Speaking
Body: Editor's note: A recent request on the TESL listserv for suggestions to get hesitant EFL students speaking received the following response. ---- Has anyone suggested Reader's Theatre to you? I think it is a good way to get reluctant speakers started as it allows them the comfort of a text and the ability to remain seated and yet requires them to convey emotion and engage in drama. Once the ice is broken, you may be able to get the students to improvise more and more as they become more at ease speaking in front of others. You might try a script from a site like http://teachingheart.net/readerstheater.htm or get them using lyrics of popular songs. You can find lyrics at sites like http://www.nerdworld.com/nw228.html or http://www.lyricsconnection.com Mathews, C. Re: English conversation in Japan.

Title: China's Rich Language Diversity
Body: A recent government survey estimated that just over half of the population of China can communicate in Putonghua, the nation's official dialect. With 55 ethnic minorities and a massive land area, residents of villages only a few miles apart sometimes have trouble communicating.
