Title: Report on Bilingual Ed Won't Be Published by Government
Body: In 2002, the US government commissioned a report comparing the efficacy of bilingual and English-only immersion programs as part of a movement toward applying scientifically-based research to their decision-making processes, but the government now says it will allow the panel of researchers to choose their own publisher. While critics accuse the Bush administration of refusing to publish the report because it disagrees with the findings, others play up the potential for having the results published in a highly visible forum.

Title: Inuit Language Conference Falls Back on English
Body: Delegates from Alaska, Canada, Greenland, and Russia converged in Canada recently for a conference on strategies for reviving Inuit languages. While attendees were excited to hear so many speaking Inuit, the diversity of dialects made communication difficult without relying on English. Lack of adequate teaching materials and staff were among the common concerns. Read the Nunatsiaq News article at: http://www.nunatsiaq.com/news/nunavut/50826_08.html

Body: From: http://linguistlist.org/issues/16/16-2465.html We solicit original data-driven research in language education from researchers in outer and expanding circle countries with a focus on how doing research in these contexts influences the kinds of research questions that are posed, how these questions are investigated, and how the results and interpretations are reported, or in some cases, not reported.

Research topics may include language acquisition in formal and informal settings, effects of innovative teaching methodologies on language learning, language testing, technology in language learning, task-based learning, minority language revival, influences on instructional change, processes and politics of developing locally appropriate textbooks and educational materials, language teacher problem solving, and program evaluation. Proposals are welcomed from both native and non-native users of English in outer and expanding circle countries. Submissions by researchers currently engaged in language teaching and teacher education at established institutions are strongly encouraged. Deadline: October 15, 2005.

Title: Need Ideas for the First Days of Class?
Body: Recent discussions on several language teaching listservs have suggested possible activities for starting the school year. One rich source of ideas can be found on the FLTEACH listserv FAQ site: http://www.cortland.edu/flteach/FAQ/FAQ-First-Days.html Below are some more ideas appropriate for any level. Although these were submitted by teachers of different languages, they may be used for any language. ---- In my high school we played a "find someone who" game on the first day of class. The teacher would hand out a worksheet with different statements on it and you would try and find someone who matched the statement. For example, one statement might be, Find someone who has lived in the same house, for their entire life, or Find someone who doesnt like seafood. For the upper-level Spanish classes, the questions were all in Spanish, and for the lower-level classes the questions were in Spanish and English. Ross, K. Re: First day lesson plans. Foreign Language Teaching Forum listserv. FLTEACH@LISTSERV.BUFFALO.EDU (1 Dec. 2004). ---- Students often like to know about me and what I did over the summer, so I give them a T/F quiz with statements that I wish were true and are not, or which are true and I wish they weren't. It produces lots of laughter. The statements are in German where possible. It includes where I studied, how long I have taught, where I traveled and classroom policies. Stefano, M.

Title: View German TV Online
Body: Fellow Teachers of German: You can now record television programming from Germany for free! Go to www.onlinetvrecorder.de and create an account. You will have to download some decoding software, but the site is in English and makes things pretty "einfach" for the most part. You can also store 30 minutes of German television online by getting a test ShiftTV account at www.shift.tv . This site will allow you to play back a previously recorded show from any computer that has a high speed connection and uses the Windows Media Player. If you want more recording space, then you will have to pay approximately 5 Euros per month. However, there is not an option to view German subtitles on the programs because they are streamed. Happy viewing! Reichert, J. [AATG-L] Great Web resource. American Association of Teachers of German listserv. AATG@listserv.iupui.edu (24 Aug. 2005).
